Leaving You
Corey Crowder Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Leave with my friends and head right out of town
And i'll miss you like i miss an old tooth ache
And leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
So i'll take my car and head straight out west
Finally find the place where i can rest
And i've been so run down from the things you say
But honey when i lay in bed at night
It's me that's left alone and cryin' for you
And ain't that cool
And since it seems like you don't care
I'll be heading straight to where i know
There's no you
So call up my old friends and have a good time
Fix all the pain you left and try to unwind
And i'll be back to my old self one of these days
Cus leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
Leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
Yeah leaving you is gonna fix all my mistakes
The lyrics of Corey Crowder’s Leaving You are embedded with the theme of leaving behind pain, hurt and bad memories. The first verse paints the picture of a lover who has left without a second glance and taken the friends with them too. The singer is left feeling bitter and with a bad taste in his mouth. However, he believes that leaving his lover will help him fix all of his mistakes and move on. In the second verse, the songwriter talks of a journey “head straight out west” to seek solace; to forget everything that hurts and move on. But the chorus reveals that leaving behind the person he loved is not easy, that he is left alone in bed at night crying for her, and that it's cooler for her, as she doesn't seem to care. Despite this, the songwriter remains resolute and remains determined to fix all his mistakes while leaving her.
The sense of despair and hopelessness in the songwriter's heart is palpable in the lyrics. He tries to hide his emotions by being bold but admits to the pain of heartbreak in the chorus. The song depicts the struggles of a person who has suffered a broken heart and is trying to recover by leaving all the negativity behind to move on.
