The Leaving Song Pt. 2

AFI · I Heard A Voice (Live From Long Beach Arena) [2007]

Don't waste your touch

You won't feel anything

Or were you sent to save me

I've thought too much

You won't find anything

Worthy of redeeming



Yo he estado aquí

Muchas veces antes

Y regreso



To (break down)

And cease all feeling

(Burn now)

What once was breathing

(Reach out)

And you may take my heart away



Imperfect cry

And scream in ecstasy

So what befalls the flawless

Look what I've built

It shines so beautifully

Now watch as it destroys me



Y regreso

Aquí otra vez

Y comienzo



To (break down)

And cease all feeling

(Burn now)

What once was breathing

(Reach out)

And you may take my heart away



(Break down)

And cease all feeling

(Burn now)

What once was breathing

(Reach out)

And you may take my heart away



I left it all behind

And never said goodbye

I left it all behind

And never said goodbye

I left it all behind

And never said goodbye

I left it all to die



I saw its birth

I watched it grow

I felt it change me



I took the life

I ate it slow

Now it consumes me



I (break down)

And cease all feeling

(Burn now)

What once was breathing

(Reach out)

And you may take my heart away



(Break down)

And cease all feeling

(Burn now)

What once was breathing

(Reach out)

And you may take my heart away

Heart away
