Here I Am

I'm getting tired of watching other people go

The lights on my street never come on

And the lines are overgrown

It's obvious now that I've been forgotten

The hollow houses and vacant lots and

The shattered windows and splintered doors

How long have I been here all alone?

Here I am again

The one who gets

Left behind, left behind, left behind

Settled in, had a plan

But I never factored in

Everyone else saying goodbye

This ghost town is making a ghost of me

This ghost town is making a ghost, making a ghost of me

I promised myself I'd learn to be the one who leaves

With no more roots to tie me down

It's just a different kind of lonely

So I'm back to pulling arms

And begging and begging

For the love of God

Don't leave me here again

Here I am again

The one who gets

Left behind, left behind, left behind

Settled in, had a plan

But I never factored in

Everyone else saying goodbye

This ghost town is making a ghost of me

This ghost town is making a ghost

Making a ghost of me

They shake me off and ask why I bother

The answer is simple

My father, his father

I come from a long line of people who believe

In the flowers that grow

In the cracks in the street

Here I am

Here I am
