Johannes Laitila: Leave the Town


this is the first time i have written it down this way
i think i have lost it all
this is the first time i feel like stumbling down
down the stairs i fall
i think you should listen to what i say though i've lost my power to speak
i think you should follow me home because i know the right ways to go
oh i'd walk with you
rather than anything else i really do

it's the natural shyness that i have inside of me
there are things i just cannot say
i don't know what is the great thing in holding your hand
it's not the only question i have left to ask
as we're walking through the town the city lights just don't shine as bright as you do
i only wish you could brighten me up as well
i can't do it myself
i'd fall down with you
rather than anything else i really do

i don't know if i just didn't deserve you
oh, it could be true
it doesn't help if i try to stay in dark
i remember everything
i still think of you and the way you have behaved
it makes me angry and sad
these are the last words i'm going to ever say
it's over
i leave the town
