you carry this with you

I can't shake off this dark cloud

It seems like it's been the only thing in my life for years

What's the point in being here

When life is spent asking that question over again

Changing your surroundings

It won't do you any good

Cause you carry this with you

If we had the choice between

All the things you left us

Or having you here with us now

If we had the choice between

All the things you left us

Or having you here now

What would we choose

Did you think this soil would change its properties

Just because you took it to a garden further south

I can't stay in I can't go out

This feeling follows me about

When you never even knew me

How can you claim to feel any pain

Thing's didn't go wrong - they just changed

And when I felt it coming on again

If we had the choice between

All the things you left us

Or having you here with us now

If we had the choice between

All the things you left us

Or having you here now

What would we choose

We only want you here so you can give us more

That's why we're sad

We want songs like you wrote before

And is your death really any worse

Than any other boy or girl's

When we never even knew you

So come back come back

But you won't come back

Cause you can't come back

If you had the choice between

All the things you left us

Or being with us now

What would you choose
