Leave It All Behind

You were the one who told me to live.

You were the one who told me to let go of fears.

It took a while, but your words they sank in.

And it’s a fact that I’m back and I’m feeling better than I felt before.

Cause I had to leave it all behind.

Set my sights on a new life baby,

Separate from my past mistakes.

I had to leave it all behind.

A new day’s dawning for me now sugar,

And I won’t be held back by should’s or could have been’s Oh no, Oh no.

I had to leave it behind, leave it behind.

Now that the table’s are turned you’re wondering.

How did I get to be standing right here?

You’re feeling down, you’re so unsure

You say you’ve never ever felt this way before,

Just listen to the words that you once said to me.

Cause I had to leave it all behind.

Set my sights on a new life baby,

Separate from my past mistakes.

I had to leave it all behind.

A new day’s dawning for me now sugar,

and I won’t be held back by should’s or could have been’s Oh no, Oh no.

I had to leave it behind, leave it behind.

Step 1 you’ve gotta learn to live your life.

Step 2 you’ve gotta keep it all in sight.

Step 3 you’ve gotta hold your head up high.

Step 4 you’ve gotta leave it all behind.

Cause I had to leave it all behind.

Separate from my past mistakes.

I had to leave it all behind.

A new day’s dawning for me now sugar,
