This time it’s me, leaving. Not begging you to stay. Not sitting alone, grieving. This time, I’m the one Who is going away. I’m not fooling myself That you even care. We lost who we were Along the way somewhere. It used to be about love Now it’s just paying rent. I had a lot of love, but, I don’t know where it went. It’s an old love story I never wanted it to end But now it’s too hard To continue to pretend. I see in your eyes that You don’t care anymore. So what is this last bit Of playacting even for? This time it’s me, leaving. Not begging you to stay. Not sitting alone, grieving. This time, I’m the one Who is going away. This time, I’m the one Who is going away.

IT'S ME, LEAVING
This time it’s me, leaving. Not begging you to stay. Not sitting alone, grieving. This time, I’m the one Who is going away. I’m not fooling myself That you even care. We lost who we were Along the way somewhere. It used to be about love Now it’s just paying rent. I had a lot of love, but, I don’t know where it went. It’s an old love story I never wanted it to end But now it’s too hard To continue to pretend. I see in your eyes that You don’t care anymore. So what is this last bit Of playacting even for? This time it’s me, leaving. Not begging you to stay. Not sitting alone, grieving. This time, I’m the one Who is going away. This time, I’m the one Who is going away.
