Twelfth Night - If You Leave

I'm sorry if you leave
But I will understand
I'm not the same at night
I'm only half of what I am

Haunted by the night
I will sit up wondering
Whatever happened to the dream
I always wondered in

Dreams are what we need to be alive
Because when we die, we dream of life
Our broken bones are cast in lullabies

Your skin will scream
Your heart will break
You'll seem desperate
The tacks you put under your skin
Will learn to separate

I'm sorry if you leave
But I'll understand
I'm not the same at night
I'm only half of what I am

Haunted by the night
I will sit up wondering
Whatever happened to the dream
I always wondered in

Tell myself that I'm alright so when you ask
I deflect
There's nothing wrong with me apart from my unseen birth defect

Dreams are what we need to be alive
Because when we die, we dream of life
Our broken bones are cast in lullabies

Your skin will scream
Your heart will break
You'll seem desperate
The tacks you put under your skin
Will learn to separate

Dreams are what we need to be alive
Because when we die, we dream of life
Our broken bones are cast in lullabies
