No one leaves their love behind
Not even at the risk of agony and death
I had my chance at freedom once
I slipped through the bars
And was free
I could run through the jungle
I had a good chance to make it
But he was in the cage
He couldn’t escape
He was stuck there waiting for the people,
The pain and torture.
I couldn’t leave him
I don’t think he would have left me either
Even if he wouldn’t admit it now
He begged me to go
But I couldn’t leave him
I couldn’t leave the person I loved behind.
