The Colour of Leaving

You never know just what you've got

Until it's slipping through your fingers

You never know just what you've got

Until it's gone with the wind

And you never miss your shadow

Until there's no one left beside you

You never miss your shadow

Until you're alone

Alone in the dark

You never know just what will break you

Until you're picking up the pieces

Never know just what will break you

Until your world, it falls apart

Never know how small your voice is

Until you're screaming at the silence

Never know how small your voice is

Until you're arguing

Arguing with god

But I saw deaths face today

As he led my friend away

I saw deaths face today

As he cast his shadow over me

I saw deaths face today

As he led my friend away

So I'll ask who I gotta pay

To bring him back

Bring him back to me

Bring him back to me

You never know the words you should've said

Until they're all you're left with

Until the dirt is falling and the guilt, it burns your bones

And we ask the biggest question

Why the fuck did this all happen

Who on earth deserves this

And what the hell do we do now

So we live, like we have lost

And we love, like we are broken

And as the colour leaves the sky we're left in reverence

Of the frailty of it all
