  • Scratched out a note I wrote for you
    To wake and read
    To know that I was there once
    I knew that there was nothing that I could write to assure you
    Of my return
    But all the paper said when I was done is
    'do you still want me?'
    Because I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
    We haven't saved the baby

    As I said
    My darling
    Spring is constantly calling me
    And there's no place that I'd rather be

    I won't be angry
    If you have to leave,
    But I won't be waiting
    For that day
    So don't say you're sorry because
    I won't believe you

    Didn't see a sticker on the door when we walked in
    But I know it's going to cost us
    The same amount of love it takes to get you through
    But it never moves you
    I'd be terrified if I had to leave this place today
    It's where I threw my love away
    Then we saw a different side of "Annie" nobody saw
    She tried to kill the baby

    And the earth and its skin will open up
    And birth out a perfect mirror
    That makes all our reflections clear

    I won't be angry
    If you have to leave,
    But I won't be waiting
    For that day
    So don't say you're sorry because
    I won't believe you Publisher: CIRCA SURVIVE MUSIC LEVEL GROUP LTD
