Leave
Jing Guo Lyrics

The song "Leave" by Jing Guo is a reflection on the necessity of leaving in order to find oneself and true happiness. The first verse starts by acknowledging that tears can be a way of protecting oneself from the burdens and weariness that might come from staying in a situation that is no longer fulfilling. The singer decides that chasing after what is not meant to be will only lead to more tears and hurt. Instead, it is important to give oneself a chance and acknowledge that being alone is a natural part of life, and that it is okay to face it.

The chorus reiterates that being alone is a pure experience that everyone learns to face at some point. It is important to learn to face it courageously and not to put too much emphasis on any one person being absolutely essential to our happiness. Only once we leave can we start to pursue the world we truly want. The singer is not necessarily looking for perfection or even the same kind of love as before, just something that would make them feel like they had returned to their original place, with a sense of belonging.

The song highlights the importance of acknowledging the power that lies within ourselves, and recognizing that sometimes we need to step away in order to find what truly matters to us. We need to learn to be comfortable in our own company and not depend on others to fill a void, but learn to trust that someone who can give us comfort and happiness might be closer than we think.
