What I Leave Behind

Anita Cochran

Packed my things in a suitcase
And I've put then in the car
It's no longer my place
I've convinced my heart

You know how much I love you
This I can't deny
It hurts to look around this room
At what I leave behind

A picture sets of me and you
When things were going right
Memories of things we've been through
Slowly move across my mind

The times we've shared together
The moments we've cried
Destiny is calling to another place
Still a sea of tears

Keep falling down my face
It's the hardest thing I'll ever do
To have to go one without you
But I'll try to force a smile

And say the words goodbye
To what I leave behind
Packed my things in a suitcase
And I've put then in the car
