Elan be here or be gone

I had to grow
Out of my old ways
I wanted to have you
Wanted to keep you
You were the one who owned me anyway
I had to blow it
Mess it all up
Before I could see it
I wasted my luck
Be here or be gone babe
You bet I'm gonna miss you
Be here or be gone babe
You know I won't forget you
Better lay off the pretty lines
You know all too well
I'll only keep spreading
The parasite swell
Your soul is a giant
And I just can't reach you
My soul is defiant
Wish I could teach you
Be here or be gone babe
You bet I'm gonna miss you
Be here or be gone babe
You know I won't forget you
