For Those I Love - Leave Me Not Love

I have a love,
And if never fades,
And it feels like either will the pain,
Your name emblazed on every day,
Afraid I'll lose the memory of your face,
But our love will never fade.

I have a love,
And it never fades,
You lifted us from the mundane,
And then you wrote Drive,
And immortalised our right to life,
And a crisps ailse all in one line,
Mate,
Pain takes time.

I have a love,
And it never fades,
I found your old Myspace page on the bus today.
One song playlist loads up straight away,
And sunk me right back to the source of our teenage pain.
And now on the bus, on that morning commute,
That song on your Myspace speaks to me with truth,
If I knew what was wrong,
I would tell you.
If I knew what was wrong,
I would tell you.

I have a love,
And it never fades,
I have a love that never shakes,
That never moves,
That never breaks.
I have a love and it never takes.
I have a love that stays.
And it's all love and glory on your name
Til I see out my last days
And find the ways to fight the pain emblazed.
I have a love and it never fades,
All praise to my best mates.

It's been a long road
Layed up on the shelf,
Trying to heal the self,
But those I love brought me back to health,
And I ain't never need nothin else.

And there's rain,
Dear god there's rain,
That will never go away
There's days and days of every kind of pain
Nothing stays the same,
Other than the never ending weight of shame,

And there's shame,
Dear fucking god there's shame,
It's that Dear James excess pain that stays,
What happened to my best mate?
I have a love,
And it's full of pain.
