I'm Leaving You
Farba Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I had in my head a perfect plan of future life,
When I was young
I saw you and I knew I want to be with you
When we were young
You've promised that we would have a beautiful life.
But now I know it was only a stupid dream.
You've cheated on me; I cannot stand it anymore,
Now I'm leaving you,
Stay away from me.
Because I'm losing control of myself.
I'm losing control of myself.
Now I'm leaving you,
Stay away from me.
Because I'm losing control of myself.
I'm losing control of myself.
I'm losing control of myself.
I've cried all day when I saw you in her bed,
You've only told me you're sorry.
I forgave you that but since this day
I knew it wouldn't be the same.
But now I know it was only a stupid dream.
You've cheated on me; I cannot stand it anymore,
Don't beg me!
Now I'm leaving you,
Stay away from me.
Because I'm losing control of myself.
I'm losing control of myself.
Now I'm leaving you,
Stay away from me.
Because I'm losing control of myself.
I'm losing control of myself.
I'm losing control of myself.
It's all because of you!
I'm leaving you,
I was loving you,
I'm leaving you,
I'm after you...
In "I'm Leaving You," Farba expresses the pain and betrayal of a failed relationship. The song begins with the hopeful memories of the past and the perfect plan for the future, but turns dark as the truth of infidelity is revealed. The lyrics start to ring with the singer's feelings of anger as well as the sense of control that is slipping away from him. The chorus of the song is very powerful, as the singer declares his intention to leave the relationship, and the repetition of the line "I'm losing control of myself" implies that he is barely holding himself together.
The second verse of the song shows a significant shift from the initial optimism, and the starkness of the reality hits hard as the singer describes seeing his partner in bed with another person. The song's primary message is that the betrayal of the relationship has pushed the singer past his limits, and he must leave for his own good. The final phrase of the song "I'm after you" exhibits that the singer is still dealing with the pain of the breakup and indicates that the relationship had a profound emotional bond that will not easily fade away.
