Lessons

he left them just in time
the time where they needed him most 
1987
no future or direction
what all did they do?
to make him want to go away?
what else did they say
to make him want to stay?
please don't leave
you're killing us
please don't stay
just go away
one by one we'll slowly fade away
but in the end we'll see what we did wrong
and in the end we'll find out what makes us strong
all the things you'll do or say
those memories will haunt you everyday
fade away
one day we'll all fade away
