Don't Go, by Doug McKenna

Followed your tail lights home in my head again
But I drifted farther than you said I would
But I’m not afraid to dream again
And I’m not going back to the one that I was
And I can’t turn around
‘cause it’s not in my blood so

Don’t go
Leave me hanging around by myself
Don’t go
Don’t go away

Sit alone in the dark and I read my book
That I wrote you, explaining all the pain it took
But I don’t know why you’re so scared to look
‘Cause it’s later now than it was before
as I open my eyes you head for the door but I say

Don’t go
Leave me hanging around by myself
Don’t go

Collapsing beneath the weight of their hands
They’re pushing me down and it’s so hard to stand
Was it too much for you to show me your dreams
As I slowly realize this is more than it seems

The forest ends where those trees begin
And I know you’ll see the well trodden path of where I’ve been
Not too long ago, I was the one
Did you honestly think I could send you away
I know all your secrets and I need you to stay
