Transitioning from mellow to heavy, Soft/Agro/Emo Male sings about not being able to leave the one he still loves and misses, hanging onto the feeling that haunts him. Powerful Rock elements and soothing ballad moments make this very dynamic and compelling.

I Can’t Leave
words & music
J. Jorgensen/P. Rafelson

Woke this morning to an empty room
In the the mirror
All I see’s a broken dream

Still hear your words
Echoes shiver through my veins
I can feel your next to me

Glass half empty
An indentation in my bed

Silence surrounds me
But the static rings inside my head

A voice keeps screaming
Never thought that we would end

I can feel your hold on me
And black is all I see

CHORUS
I can’t breathe
Without your crutch to carry me
I can’t leave
The only thing I know I need
I can’t dream
‘Cause all I see is you and me
And this feeling just won’t die

Walking blindly
Never seem to get back home

People all around me
But I never felt so alone

I count all the hours
And time is now my enemy

I can feel you next to me
And black is all I see

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I feel the edge of my own knife
I feel the edge of my own life
And then my world collides
With the memory of you by my side
