Leave Your Life
Ed Sheeran Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Before I catch the plane
Would you know the way that I
Feel when I'm away?
We'll see the same sky tonight
But the stars are out of place
You'll never know the weight of my heart
Every time I leave you, babe
It's hard to break the landing
But I'll see you again
I'm never gonna leave your life
Even at the times I'm miles away
You are always on my mind
Forever and now, I will be by your side
I know it can change from day to day
But this love will keep alive
I'm never gonna leave your life
I-I-I, I'm never gonna leave your life
Oh, I could never tell your lie
Or put in words your finest traits
The darkest green and hazel eyes
And yet I can't describe the shade
You are all this heart of mine
And there you will remain
You'll never know the weight of my decisions
When I leave your smiling face
It's hard to understand it
But I'll see you again
Oh, I
I'm never gonna leave your life
Even at the times I'm miles away
You are always on my mind
Forever and now, I will be by your side
I know it can change from day to day
But this love will keep alive
I'm never gonna leave your life
I-I-I, I'm never gonna leave your life
It's hard to break the landing
But I'll see you again
I'm never gonna leave your life
Even at the times I'm miles away
You are always on my mind
Forever and now, I will be by your side
I know it can change from day to day
But this love will keep alive
I'm never gonna leave your life
I-I-I, I'm never gonna leave your life
If I forget to say goodbye
Before I catch the plane
Would you know the way that I
Feel when I'm away?

Line by Line Meaning
If I forget to say goodbye
If for any reason I don't manage to tell you goodbye
Before I catch the plane
Before heading off on my journey by plane
Would you know the way that I
Do you understand the feelings I have inside
Feel when I'm away?
When I'm away, the emotions I experience
We'll see the same sky tonight
Despite the distance, we'll both look up at the same night sky
But the stars are out of place
The constellations are different from what we're used to seeing
You'll never know the weight of my heart
You won't be able to fully comprehend the heaviness in my heart
Every time I leave you, babe
Each and every time I have to leave your side
It's hard to break the landing
It's emotionally difficult to come back to reality after such a lovely experience
But I'll see you again
I'll make sure to see you once more
I'm never gonna leave your life
I'll always be a part of your life, no matter the distance
Even at the times I'm miles away
Even if we're far apart from each other
You are always on my mind
You're constantly in my thoughts
Forever and now, I will be by your side
I promise to always be here for you
I know it can change from day to day
I'm aware that things may change unexpectedly
But this love will keep alive
However, my love for you will never fade away
Oh, I could never tell your lie
I could never deceive you with lies
Or put in words your finest traits
I can't even put into words how amazing I find you
The darkest green and hazel eyes
Your eye colour that I can't fully describe
And yet I can't describe the shade
Even though I've tried to capture the specifics of it
You are all this heart of mine
You're everything my heart desires
And there you will remain
Forever and always in my heart
You'll never know the weight of my decisions
You'll never understand the burden of the choices I have to make
When I leave your smiling face
Each time I leave, after seeing you happy and smiling
