Leaving
Killing Me Inside Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

9can't you see
To all the stories and ending
That we've write.
Now it falls to pieces

Never will the memories fade away
The picture of a broken frame
Still hanging on the wall
It's not like our fate is on your hands
We've got a lot to do right now
Something is calling us we're breaking free
Uuh we'll know that tomorrow's still there to see
Our victory, that we've always waited for (we're breaking free)

I know that i will make it through
...
Know that you'll be leaving soon

Maybe we can let this go
...

Nevertheless, we will make it happen
...
Don't have to wait until the morning
...
Time will fly
In a matter of seconds

We'll be this way forever
We've got to take it now

Right now
...
I know that i will make it through
...
Know that you'll be leaving soon
...
Maybe we can let this go
Nevertheless, we will make it happen
I know that i will make it through
...
Know that you'll be leaving soon
...
Maybe we can let this go
...
Nevertheless, we will make it happen
I believe in the memories that you've painted on the wall
...
Talking back to a mirror, to feel the way you do
I believe in the scars of time that decorates up on the wall
Can you feel it? can you see it?
Like a flash
Blinded our eyes
Not meant to be
Its crazy but i feel alive
So alive
...
Our broken frame now slowly fades away
I know that i will make it through
...
Know that you'll be leaving soon
Maybe we can let this go
...
Nevertheless, we will make it happen
I know that you'll leaving now
...
Know that we can let this go
And i'm realy realy sure
...




Nevertheless, we will make it happen
...

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Killing Me Inside's song Leaving depict a relationship that has come to an end, with the two parties involved coming to terms with moving on. The first few lines express the realization that the stories and endings they have created have fallen apart, and they are left with memories of a broken frame (symbolizing the relationship) that still hangs on the wall. The lyrics then acknowledge that their fate is not in the hands of the other person, and rather than dwelling on the past, they have a lot to do in the present and need to break free from their current situation. They know that tomorrow is still to be seen and they can achieve a victory that they have been waiting for, but also recognize that one of them will be leaving soon.


The chorus repeats a few times, emphasizing that they will make it through and something is calling them to break free. They don't have to wait until morning and they know that time will fly in a matter of seconds. They need to take action now, rather than waiting around. The lyrics then shift to a more personal reflection, with the line "talking back to a mirror, to feel the way you do" suggesting the pain and struggle of moving on from a relationship. However, the lyrics also express belief in the memories and scars of time that have shaped the relationship's narrative, and ultimately the broken frame fades away as they move on.
