Lyrics

Leaving Tonight
By Richard Tichelman

My mother comes around, my bedroom door
Tears fill her eyes, not sure what for
And she sat me know, upon my bed
Here's what she told me, here's what she said

Chorus
We're leaving tonight, I can't stand this fight
And no, we won't look back we'll just carry on our lives
We're leaving tonight

Bruises line her arms like sleeves of a shirt
She puts on a smile, but inside she is hurt
Now I've seen this daily, I can't take it anymore
I've packed all my bags and I'm walking out

Chorus
We're leaving tonight, I can't stand this fight
And no, we won't look back we'll just carry on our lives
We're leaving tonight

All my memories consist of scar tissue
With all the times she's been hit I can conclude
Although we live in paradise there's so much more that happens beyond the eyes

Chorus
We're leaving tonight, no I can't stand this fight
And no we won't look back we'll just carry on our lives
We're leaving tonight

We're leaving tonight, ya I can't stand this fight
And no I won't look back I'll just carry on my life

Ya I'm leaving tonight
Ya I'm leaving tonight
I'm leaving tonight
