lyrics

I think I should be leaving now
It’s time that I took my final bow

Where were you when you left home?
(The curtain closes now; touch me before the light dims)
This is how the angels grow
(Our final laments will only be pitied by the dead)

Tonight the stars won’t light the way
But I can see the road as clear as day

Where were you when you left home?
(I’ve tried them all but they’ve only left me an empty shell)
This is how the angels grow
(Save my soul before its damned to eternal hell)
Where were you when you left home?
(Please, please, please, I promise that I’ll change)
This is how the angels grow
(Then again, why should I? You never will)

I wish you could save my soul
Before the dark swallows me whole
By the time you find this note
I’ll be leaving home

I’ve spent the past few years
Living in all my medicated fears

Where were you when you left home?
(Before you go, there’s just one thing I wanted to say)
This is how the angels grow
(You never really existed, because you were just in my head)

By the time you find this note
I’ll be leaving home

Before you go, there’s just one thing I need to say
I’m all alone, you’re just in my head

Where were you when you left home?
This is how the angels grow
Where were you when you left home?
Where were you when you left home?
