  • I've looked straight into your eyes
    And turned my head for the last time
    Because I was scared to leave these walls in ruin
    Like the fate of those who trust in themselves

    We are alone and afraid

    I know you are the one we left behind
    Yet somehow we are the ones who are alone
    you are the one we left behind
    you are the one we left be

    I will no longer turn my head
    I will never forget you
    You are the one we left behind
    You are the forsaken

    We've built our confidence
    On broken dreams now left for dead
    Yet we've been condemned
    To chase these dreams that never end

    I know you are the one we left behind
    Yet somehow we are the ones who are alone
    you are the one we left behind
    you are the one we left be

    I will no longer turn my head
    I will never forget you
    You are the one we left behind
    You are the forsaken

    I will no longer turn my head
    I will never forget you
    You are the one we left behind
    You are the forsaken

    Our selfishness consumes us
    Until the whole world is not enough
    Forgive the day that I erased your name
    that I erased your name
    For it's the memory of me that will decay

    I know you are the forsaken
    Yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone
    I know you are the forsaken
    Yet somehow we are the ones who feel alone Writer/s: Jordan D. Mancino, Phillip J. Sgrosso, Samuel Nicholas Hipa, Timothy Lambesis
