Last ditch effort (see you try)

You have chosen dawn to leave
Don´t bother me while I am sleeping
Life continues and though you go out
I´ll sleep another hour or so
Though you think that I am fragile
I´m a river and I´ll travel on whether you are here or not
You´re not the only thing I´ve got
So turn the light off when you leave
Don´t forget to leave the key
You know I´m going to miss your touch
You say that you can´t help that much
But I would have loved to see you try
It´s not that we committed sins
We wouldn´t know where to begin
We just love different things in our lives
I love you and you loved time
Now that my time has gone
You have risen like the dawn
And you kissed me as if once we part
I might die of a broken heart
Though I will not try to change your mind
Believing what you left behind
is a child who is lost confused
as a consequnce of loving you
I will not try to call your bluff
The truth would hurt you far too much
I´m sorry I got left behind
But now you´re gone I feel fine
Don´t bother me while I am sleeping
Life continues and though you go out
I´ll sleep another hour or so
Though you think that I am fragile
I´m a river and I´ll travel on whether you are here or not
You´re not the only thing I´ve got
So turn the light off when you leave
Don´t forget to leave the key
You know I´m going to miss your touch
You say that you can´t help that much
But I would have loved to see you try
It´s not that we committed sins
We wouldn´t know where to begin
We just love different things in our lives
I love you and you loved time
Now that my time has gone
You have risen like the dawn
And you kissed me as if once we part
I might die of a broken heart
Though I will not try to change your mind
Believing what you left behind
is a child who is lost confused
as a consequnce of loving you
I will not try to call your bluff
The truth would hurt you far too much
I´m sorry I got left behind
But now you´re gone I feel fine
