[Verse 1]
All good people, your time will come
Work forever and still not be done
Close your tired eyes, no one knows you've gone
It's not forever but today you've become
[Chorus]
The man who left himself
[Verse 2]
You don't belong here, your heart beats too fast
Feel the missed beat, it stops and it starts
Don't be frightened, these things never last
Maybe tomorrow your time will have passed
[Chorus]
It's the man who left himself
The man who left himself
All good people, your time will come
Work forever and still not be done
Close your tired eyes, no one knows you've gone
It's not forever but today you've become
[Chorus]
The man who left himself
[Verse 2]
You don't belong here, your heart beats too fast
Feel the missed beat, it stops and it starts
Don't be frightened, these things never last
Maybe tomorrow your time will have passed
[Chorus]
It's the man who left himself
The man who left himself
