Orla Gartland - Left Behind Lyrics

Alright, let's go

I'm clinging onto you so tight
I know it hurts just a little
You say we will be alright
But I have my doubts

It's better to be holding you
While you pass through
Than not holding you at all

An elephant is in the room
Don't look and don't try to feed it
You always want me on your terms
You can't have your cake and eat it

I don't want you to go without me
But when you do
Won't you put yourself in my shoes?
'Cause I know this feeling
I'm so tired of being
Left behind
Left behind
Left behind
Every time

Awake, in bed, in my own head
One day rolls into another
You look like you've been having fun
At least that's what I told my mother

Maybe it's better to not have someone at all
Then no one else can let you down when they forget to call
And I keep having this weird dream where you're going off to war
And I'm just left there in the kitchen, staring at the door
I think I'm done with this
'Cause if you've got no one
At least you've got no one to miss

Is it better to be holding you
While you pass through
Than not holding you at all?

Oh, I don't want you to go without me
But when you do
Won't you put yourself in my shoes?
Because I know this feeling
I'm so tired of dreaming
That you're not leaving
Oh, I'm so tired of being
Left behind
Left behind
Left behind
Every time
Left behind
