Lyrics The Avett Brothers

The Avett Brothers

Part From Me

I was scared but I couldn't admit it

Hatred planted out of fear

If I had, If I had no choice but to hit it

The road, it calls on me my dear

I was lost as lost can be

Being praised for being found

But all that praise got lost on me

As a mood swing was headed down

Part from me

I would not dare take someone in love with me

Where I'm going

Apart you'll see

How true it is and how back then

It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it

Your touch was nothing more

Than a child's goodbye and hello

But it always left me feeling

Worse when it was time to go

Part from me

I would not dare take someone in love with me

Where I'm going

Apart you'll see

How true it is and how back then

It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it

And most of us out there got fooled

Cause the gold it glittered in the night

And we chased it fast like drunk buffoons

The banker lived the artist died

And all our clothes were washed in gray

All our buildings and our cars

As the fluorescent light of day

Bleached the sky into the stars

Part from me

I would not dare take someone in love with me

Where I'm going

Apart you'll see

How true it is and how back then

It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it
