Should I Leave You Now
Kithara Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Should I stay a while and tell you this is a lie?
Should I stand up and tell you this is goodbye.
There are no words to hold me back now,
but there is still you that holds my hand now.

Should I leave you now?
I should let go,
I should have told you that you did not love me much as I do.
Should I leave you now, or should I stay with you?

Should I think twice and stay here while my heart cries?
Should I walk away and never tell you goodbye?
There are no words to hold me back now,
but there is still you that holds my hand now.

Should I leave you now?
I should let go
I should have told you that you did not love me, much as I do.
Should I leave you now or should I stay with

You are the reason why I ever smile
and you are the reason why I cry at night.
Can't make up my mind.
Should I love you or should I let go!
Should I leave you now?
I should let go
I should have told you that you did not love me much as I do.




Should I leave you now or should I stay with you?
Should I leave you now?

Why it is hard to let go to someone u loved so much when in the first place u knew already that it will not work??
Why we enjoyed the pain caused by our loved ones that even before our eyes, they hurt us??
Why we still keep on hoping that one day they will realize how we loved and cared them so much while they are happy with their new found love now??
Why we still trying to connect our life to those who broke our heart when it was so clear that they don't want us to be part of their life??
Why they let us fall into their fake love and happy seeing us broken and busted??
Why we cannot change the fate during heartbreaks when what we want is to love and be loved??
And finally, why i am crying now and thinking of HIM seems like it was just fresh from 7 months ago when we parted ways.. ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”๐Ÿ’”

We should let go someone who doesnt love us..You should respect him,you should respect yourself,so let go,so you can be both happy,than sitting beside him knowing youre the only one whos smiling..Or sitting beside someone,knowing that he still the one that you love..

t.t hard to leave and also hard to stay like this way. Can't leave because if you really love someone, your heart must be full of her/him.
