The attic is still full   of all of the same things   that lay here when I was   wide-eyed for playthings      The basement is chock-full   of all of the memories   handed to lovers   with great expectations      Don't leave me behind   Don't leave me alone   For I just may recall   what brought me here      The palace of wisdom   has never reached my mind   The chance of a lifetime   has beaten me blindside   With high expectations   and haughty irreverence   The words that I've spoken   turn into nonsense      Don't leave me behind   Don't leave me along   For I just may recall    what brought me here   (repeat)      You said it was a lonely night   You took the lead and made the mark   You tore the pages from the scene   That taught me to control the sadness      (repeat chorus)
