Ian Janis - From Me To You lyrics

I'm leaving by night

I'm leaving alone

I'm leaving it lie

When you waken I'll be gone

I would not beg for me

As I would not beg for you

Though I'd like to be the one

To see you through

Every step you have taken

Disappears with the tide

You're torn up and shaken

With changing your mind

You haven't got the grace

To say you'll finally decide

And you haven't got the strength

To stay and fight

Those people who surround you

Only want to see you weak enough to crawl

They'll lie for you decide for you

And buy up all your rights and all your wrongs

And they'll try to stop your singing

In the middle of your song

For they do not want you free

And they do not make you strong

But only drag you down

In the hole they're coming from

They say you are foolish in wanting the sun

Say you are selfish in learning to run

And they'll tell you that the darkness

Is a blessing in disguise

For you never have to notice

If you're sighted or you're blind

And they'll do their best

To keep you from the light

You're more than beginning

You're learning to fly

You feel like you're falling

But it passes in time

I hate to see a friend

Go down in flames without a song

So I'm waiting by the doorway

But I will not linger long

I'm leaving by night

I'm leaving alone

I'm leaving it lie

When you waken I'll be gone

I would not beg for me

As I could not beg for you

But I'd like to be the one

To see you through
