Just Leave

Go a head and leave me
You're just a typical guy
Just leave me and our baby
Just leave me to cry

Why drag it out so long?
I know what you believe
To you, having a baby
Is the end of everything

It's not a new beginning
Or a even new creation
All you think our baby will bring
Is tears and devastation

Just leave me
I know you will
I'm not going to stop you
I'll stand cold as steel

I'll make it look painless
My tears won't fall
I'll stand there and smile
I'll fake it all

My heart will feel like shattered glass
Stabbing at my chest
But I'm gonna say goodbye
Maybe it's for the best

But what am I going to say
When our child grows older?
The bridge between father and child
I don't want to smolder

But go a head and leave me
You're just a typical guy
Just leave me and our baby
Just leave us to cry...
