Don't Leave Me But Leave Me Alone - Tim Christensen

A respect overload

Blocks your way to get to know me well

But I won’t hear what you say

From underneath my diamond shell

I don’t know why I tell you

Do you believe me when I tell you

If you don’t know the way

Why am I waiting for you here

We’re so close in your mind

But separated by your fear

Have you got something against me

I’ve got nothing against you

I really wanna know you

You don’t leave me, but leave me alone

I don’t really need to be on my own

Reach for me — I cannot reach for you — no more

I don’t see if you throw me a bone

I won’t wait until the cowards come home

Reach for me — I really want you to

Aah that’s a good girl

A respect overload

Is something I don’t recommend

It might be easy to quit

But so damn hard not to start again

Aah that’s a good girl

Oh such a good girl

Nobody told you

But I really wanted to

Out of the darkness

Into my emptiness
