What Was Left Behind

What I wanted wasn't what I saw
 I was chasing a midnight vagabond
 Though brave, I couldn't stop the throes from coming on
 With each day I let my ego die in my own arms
 It came apart
 I let down all my guard
 Like the way you do and the way
 Oh the shapes, they change, but the design stays the same
 You only know how to burn
 To welcome a stranger
 Call them your own and kiss them without looking
 To tie a string and to walk without warranty
 You're just sad and lonely
 When your heart beats like any others
 When your body sleep alone your mind is racing
 You've been here before, now let's do it again
 This time your mind starts to wonder
 Learn how to sleep without any company
 You're still a young man
