Darkness closes around me,
who was the one to turn out the light?
Loneliness starts to consume me,
who was the one to run out of my life?

Did you look back, like in the movies,
or did you continue to ride in the sunset?
Shane, Shane, won't you please come back,
this little boy wonders if you survived?

Now that you're gone, the years have, too,
you let me fall, there are other worlds than these.
When I come back, do I haunt your dreams,
or am I your mortal enemy?

You left me behind
You left me behind
You left me behind...

I am still right here.

Author's Note: My friends have graduated, but I have not. It's not fun, being left behind...
