Leave Me Be

You pose resilience to reality
Oh, as if it would
Betray your feelings for your heritage
Yet you heed your friends persuasive melodies
Oh, they sound so good
My final chorus rings: Don't follow me

Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me

Why has one earned such a haunting
When we both can see
Divergence warrants no hostility
We glean no joyous affirmation
From our quarantine
This path concludes with nothing shimmering

Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me

Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
Please leave me be
Don't follow me
