Break Camp

Get away
Leave me alone
Once I know
You called me home

You walked inside
You turned on lights
Gave sunshine to my days
Gave stars to my nights

Get away
Leave me alone
Don't look so pained
When you want to move on

You filled up places
That were empty before
And created new molds
That fit to your form

Get away
Leave me alone
Once I opened
And now I'm closed

You creeped inside
And turned on love
And it shined in gentle
ripples of mauve

Get away
Leave me alone
Unhook your tent pins
Your camp has flown

You cooked my heart
over an open fire
And blew the embers
that stung like live wire

Yes, get away
My heart is undone
Go with the glory
For you have won
