Leaving
Crush Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You said you'd never leave now your gone away forever.
Leaving me to barely breathe, telling me it's for the better.
I guess I should believe you now, you're walking out the door.

Chorus
There you go leaving me behind.
Let me know should you ever change your mind.
I guess it's good you're gone, I've been hearing all about you.
I thought our love was strong, but the lies you told were stronger.
I guess I should believe it now I want you 'round no more.

Bridge




I'll forget about you, live without you that it seems.
I'll move on without you learn to doubt you, the one they always talk about, the way you always scream and shout, it's you.
