Nickelback - Leave Me Behind Lyrics

Nickelback Lyrics

"Leave Me Behind"

When every problem's got the weight of the world
You know that every time I'm gonna
Make it mine just for you
When every nightmare winds up just getting worse
You know that every time I'm gonna
Make it mine just like your

Your heart, your heart, your heart

Is broken and tattered, it barely beats
The second it shatters, I'll find every piece
So pack up the torture in the back of your mind
Spit out the poison, and leave it behind
Just don't leave me behind (Behind, behind)
Just don't leave me behind (Behind, behind)
Just don't leave me behind

When every skeleton comes up from the past
You know that every time I'm gonna
Make it mine just for you
When every day seems like it might be your last
You know that every time I'm gonna
Make it mine just like your

Your heart, your heart, your heart

Is broken and tattered, it barely beats
The second it shatters, I'll find every piece
So pack up the torture in the back of your mind
Spit out the poison, and leave it behind
Just don't leave me behind (Behind, behind)
Just don't leave me behind (Behind, behind)
Just don't leave me behind

You know I'm always gonna keep you safe
You know I'm always just a call away
You know I'm always gonna save the day
And try to fix your heart
You know I'm always gonna keep you safe
You know I'm always just a call away
You know I'm always gonna save the day
And try to fix your heart

Your heart, your heart, your heart

Is broken and tattered, it barely beats (It barely beats)
The second it shatters, I'll find every piece (Find every piece)
So pack up the torture in the back of your mind (Back of your mind)
Spit out the poison, and leave it behind
Just don't leave me behind (Behind, behind)
Just don't leave me behind (Behind, behind)
Just don't leave me behind
