I May Leave

This is it
The time to choose
Call it quits or make a move
And kill the light
And lock the door
And when it rains I pray it pours
Days erase
And colors bleed
And melts the dirt beneath my feet
If the past gets weak
And I can rest
It makes it clear that leavings best
And there's no time for questioning
When it's time for reckoning
I may leave
And never come back
I may leave
This life that I had
I don't believe
In forgetting the past
But I sure don't believe in making it last
I will not change what my life's meant to be
For the comfort afforded by living in memories
Despite the noise
I pick to pack
I made a choice I can't take back
And since I'm free
I won't regret
I may leave but I won't forget
And there's no time for questioning
When it's time for reckoning
I may leave
And never come back
I may leave
This life that I had
I don't believe
In forgetting the past
But I sure don't believe in making it last
I will not change what my life's meant to be
For the comfort afforded by living in memories
And I believe there's more for me
Something strong supporting me
But I won't be moved by bullets
For I have learned to much and seen to much
To be just another casuality of the past
I need a little more than that
To be distracted
From the task at hand and who I am
But man
Oh man
It's so hard to leave who you are
I hardly know where to start
And there's no time for questioning
When it's time for reckoning
I may leave
And never come back
I may leave
This life that I had
I don't believe
In forgetting the past
But I sure don't believe in making it last
I may leave
And never come back
I may leave
This life that I had
I don't believe
In forgetting the past
But I sure don't believe in making it last
But I will not change what my life's meant to be
No I will not change what my life's meant to be
No I will not change what my life's meant to be
For the comfort afforded by living in memories
