The Leaving Songtext
von Julian Cubillos

All jacked up for the leaving
Face is dirty and bleeding
She don′t give you a reason
To go

You can't hide what you′re feeling
Little heart keeps a-beating
Your whole life is receding
From view

So when you sleep you feel awake
But when you wake, you start to break
You take a loan out on your soul
Just to feel like you're in control
She's swimming ′round inside your head
With all the things that you could′ve said, like (Yo!)
Everything we had is something for which others
Hope dream and pray
But you're giving it all away


You giving it all away, shout out to Charity
You giving it all away, just ′cause you mad at me (Uh)
It wasn't for the difference in salary
If it was, then I would′ve left more casually (Uh)

It's not about the time that′s invested
It's about our minds and how we stressin'
When love intertwines, it′s a blessin′
But we can't afford all the violence domestic (Now check it)

We had something for which people kill for, steal for
Cheat for, and lie for
And so I gotta ask this question
If you could live forever, then what would you die for?
(Would you die for love?)

Would you die for love? It seems that you would, well apparently
I′m tryin' to keep up my faculties
I′m riding through the 'Bush with my woes, Mr. Cu-bi-llos
He on the track and I lace the flow, that′s how it goes (Oh)

And I don't know, I'm just tryin′ to maintain my composure
And if I don′t get any closure, then I might just
Have to close the book on it
And I don't even put a hook on it (Yeah!)
