The attic is still fullnof all of the same thingsnthat lay here when I wasnwide-eyed for playthingsnnThe basement is chock-fullnof all of the memoriesnhanded to loversnwith great expectationsnnDon't leave me behindnDon't leave me alonenFor I just may recallnwhat brought me herennThe palace of wisdomnhas never reached my mindnThe chance of a lifetimenhas beaten me blindsidenWith high expectationsnand haughty irreverencenThe words that I've spokennturn into nonsensennDon't leave me behindnDon't leave me alongnFor I just may recall nwhat brought me heren(repeat)nnYou said it was a lonely nightnYou took the lead and made the marknYou tore the pages from the scenenThat taught me to control the sadnessnn(repeat chorus)n
