Steven Di Pilla - Leaving Nothing Lyrics

As I read your yearbook entry, each line bring my youth alive
Written at a time of passing innocence
It pulls me back into a world of endless paths
We were on and off, and off and on again
Longer pauses, then
As time and distance grew
Us became me, without you
I still have that lion plush, I gave you, you gave back to me
It sits and stares, deceitfully
Remaining stoic, unperturbed, forever timeless, as we were
I think of you, I call your name
Silence is the same
No answer is to be
First there is no you, and soon there'll be no me
No one lasts forever
I don't want you to disappear
Memories of us will be gone
No trace we were here
Reduced to grainy photographs, and scribbles in my calendars
These connect us, precious ties
But to others they're just scraps of paper to discard once I am gone
Scattered to the wind, leaving nothing
Not even loving
What purpose did we serve?
It seems to me, there's more that you deserve
