10.. What I Leave Behind

[sg1-thi-po-nd-lonn-01-97] [LS.v3.3.2026.0718R] [Verse 1] I've been rehearsing my steps out the door, tracking the lines where the carpet wears thin. Everyone's voice gets stuck in my teeth, I smile like that solves anything. Last Tuesday dissolved in my head; the clock quit, but they keep spinning time. [Pre-Chorus] I've got my keys where my reasons should be. The road feels lighter than this room, and I hate that I still need it to. [Chorus] You don't love what I leave behind. I don't miss what they said was mine. You don't love what I leave behind. I don't miss it. I won't miss it. [Verse 2] Found a photo this morning—it wasn't of me, just a face that I pretended I knew. How do they see something decent in here when I can't sit still in the room? I try on distance; it doesn't fit. Maybe I'll crowd out something worse, but if this blows up, I'll call it first. [Pre-Chorus] Maps can't explain who I didn't become. Silence gets louder the longer it hums. If I'm done, why's my hand on the drum? [Chorus] You don't love what I leave behind. I don't miss what they said was mine. You don't love what I leave behind. I don't miss it. I won't miss it. [Bridge] There's a blacktop promise nobody makes, just exit signs and the miles I said I'd chase. So why's this place so easy to leave, and why can't your voice get out of me? [Final Chorus] You don't love what I leave behind. I don't miss what they said was mine. You don't love what I leave behind. Say you don't miss me. Say you don't miss me. [end]
