leave me alone

i try to love the world but my heart isn't in--
it never seems to work for more than a--
minute romance? there's no chance--i will not begin it.

i try to tell the truth but i'm taken for granted
start to make an offer and soon it's demanded
yet i'm willing to live with the story i'm handed

the only way two leave is to leave together.
for you i'm staying home.
the way i love you, i love you forever:
that means you can leave me alone

our son is our future and he's coming up fast
too many opportunities have already passed
eternity and you and me how long can we last?

Son won't follow father and one generation ends.
today we have tradition but it's only pretend:
``on her'' is not honour for me to defend
