&quot;All that is gold does not glitter,<br /> Not all those who wander are lost;<br /> The old that is strong does not wither,<br /> Deep roots are not reached by the frost.<br /> <br /> From the ashes a fire shall be woken,<br /> A light from the shadows shall spring;<br /> Renewed shall be blade that was broken,<br /> The crownless again shall be king.&quot; <br /> ~Aragorn&#039;s Verse, The Fellowship of the Ring

You leave me behind
You turn me away
You leave me behind
So why should I stay?

Each time just hurts me
Each time repeats
But I keep coming back
And the cycle repeats

There are times of fun
Times when everything is right
But then you just ignore me
And I fade out of the light

You don’t realize you do it
But you still turn me away
I am there for you always
Tell me, why should I stay?
