As you leave Please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life Everything is all you ever meant And said to me Could you live with all the hurt The pain and tears again Yesterday should be a song For the years refrain Vacant vessel Me, I've given all I've been outpoured Oh, I've been poured out As you leave Please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life When you leave You're taking all of my dreams outside my door Twisted heart is crying more Oh, more, encore In the darkness Now all I can see is where I've been As you leave Please tiptoe down the backstairs of my life
