The Avett Brothers - Part From Me lyrics

I was scared but I couldn't admit it Hatred planted out of fear Fight or flight no choice but to hit it The road, it calls on me my dear I was lost as lost can be Being praised for being found But all that praise got lost on me As a mood swing was headed down Part from me I would not dare take someone in love with me Where I'm going Apart you'll see How true it is and how back then It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it Your touch was nothing more Than a child's goodbye and hello But it always left me feeling Worse when it was time to go Part from me I would not dare take someone in love with me Where I'm going Apart you'll see How true it is and how back then It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it And most of us out there got fooled Cause the gold it glittered in the night And we chased it fast like drunk buffoons The banker lived the artist died And all our clothes were washed in gray All our buildings and our cars As the fluorescent light of day Bleached the sky into the stars Part from me I would not dare take someone in love with me Where I'm going Apart you'll see How true it is and how back then It possibly was impossible for you or me to know it
