THE PEOPLE YOU LEFT BEHIND

เนื้อเพลง

[Verse 1] We watched you fade before our eyes You told us everything was fine We learned to read the look you wore And brace ourselves for something more The promises became routine The person we knew slipped out of reach We held our breath, we held on tight And wondered who’d come home tonight [Pre-Chorus] You were chasing something we couldn’t see While we were losing our family [Chorus] What about the people you left behind? The broken hearts, the sleepless nights The ones who cried when you weren’t there The ones who carried all the fear You were lost inside a world of lies While we were watching our lives unwind You might forget what you put us through But we’ll remember what we lost in you [Verse 2] The children heard the doors slam shut They saw the tears we couldn’t stop We tried to hide the hurt away And make tomorrow feel okay We kept the lights on, waited up Still hoping you’d come back to us But every time you disappeared You left us with another year of fear [Pre-Chorus] You were fighting battles in your mind But we were fighting just to survive [Chorus] What about the people you left behind? The broken hearts, the sleepless nights The ones who cried when you weren’t there The ones who carried all the fear You were lost inside a world of lies While we were watching our lives unwind You might forget what you put us through But we’ll remember what we lost in you [Bridge – Stripped Back, Emotional] We didn’t ask for this life We didn’t choose these tears We just wanted the person we loved To somehow reappear And nobody saw the damage Nobody heard our cries We were breaking right beside you While you were chasing another high [Final Chorus – Explosive] What about the people you left behind? The broken hearts, the sleepless nights The ones who stayed when you disappeared The ones who loved you through the fear You were lost inside a world of lies And we were left to pick up the pieces of our lives You might never know what we went through But we were losing ourselves while we were losing you [Outro – Male and Female Together] We were here… We were waiting… We were breaking… While you were chasing… The people you left behind.
