In a Field of Weeds

How could I ever let go of someone I need
when everything else around me leaves?
Don't leave, don't leave until you are freed,

because I will never let go, I will never cede.
As the dying life around me heaves,
how could I ever let go of someone I need,

when everyone else refuses to accede,
when everyone, everything else grieves?
Don't leave, don't leave until you are freed

as a blooming daisy in a field of weeds,
More beautiful than anyone ever believes.
How could I ever let go of someone I need?

You're gone, you're gone, you've done your deed
but I still have your blood on my sleeves.
Don't leave, don't leave until you are freed.

But. Do not leave me here to bleed,
Because when everyone else misperceives
How could I let go of someone I need?
Don't leave, don't leave until I am freed.
