Lyrics
Leaving
You say you?ve been stuck here for so long
You?ve been singing the same old songs
Well you used to sing them just for me
Sometimes we have to run away
I know these words won?t make you stay
But I?m hoping....
I guess they?re just one big excuse
It?s the only explanation
I?m going to use
It?s just so easy to find
Oh, words that rhyme but
Nothing rhymes with anything anymore
When you?re leaving
There?s so many ways that you smile
I see so many colours in your eyes
Don?t you know you light up my life?
You?ll be late now, it?s time to go
Will I see you again?
Well, I don?t know
I?ll let it go
It?s just so easy to find
Oh, words that rhyme but
Nothing rhymes with anything anymore
When you?re leaving
Now I walk these streets on my own
Wandering if there was something
I could have changed or rearranged
So I go back to the start and over again
There must be something here
But I?m feeling so strange
It?s just so easy to find
Oh, words that rhyme but
Nothing rhymes with anything anymore
When you?re leaving
Now I hear some girl?s sweet laughter down the hall
But no-one?s gonna invite me in??.at all
It?s just so easy to find
Oh, words that rhyme but
Nothing rhymes with anything anymore
When you?re leaving
