Don’t come back for me
If I’m such a burden, you see
Leave me here in the dust
Where all my bones will rust
Carry on with everything you do
Just forget that I existed, too

Please, don’t come back for me
If there’s other places you’d rather be
Leave me back here to bleed
Clearly I’m not what you need
Follow your beautiful dreams
Ignoring my hopeless empty screams

Don’t come back for me
If there’s other sights you want to see
Leave me where everything is colorless
Maybe it’ll clean up this giant mess
Do everything you can to run far from here
And maybe I’ll suddenly disappear

Please, don’t come back for me
If, to this door, there’s another key
Leave me with nothing at all
So I’m not the reason you fall
Time is cruel and unforgiving
Don’t waste it thinking I was ever living

Don’t come back for me.
