Leaving After All
Behind her smile
She licks the blood off of her teeth
And says she'll stay
Because it's easier that way (way)
And I've had enough
So shut me down or just shut up
I'm sick of hearing your confessions (confessions)
I'm sick of cleaning up your messes (messes)
If that's the way you are
Then that's the way I'm gonna be
If that's the way you are
You are just wasting away
I'm sinking and thinking
I'll override this (undertow)
Have I been
Relying
Too much on you to stay afloat?
Your funny face
You're leaned against the wall
I can't believe it's true
That you're not you
And you're leaving after all
Time is a bus
That drives itself through all of us
We sag and drag in funny places (places)
When traffic's heavy on our faces (faces)
If that's the way you are
Then that's the way I'm gonna be
If that's the way you are
You are just wasting away
I'm sinking and thinking
I'll override this (undertow)
Have I been
Relying
Too much on you to stay afloat?
Your funny face
You're leaned against the wall
I can't believe it's true
That you're not you
And you're leaving after all
You say, "I'll stay the same
If you'll just trust
From me to you and rust to dust"
(But I watch you) walking day to day
Pick up some change along the way
The way
If that's the way you are
Then that's the way I'm gonna be
If that's the way you are
You are just wasting away
(If that's the way)
I can't believe it's true
(The way)
I found out that you're not you
(The way)
You said you'd stay, yes I recall
(You're just wasting)
Oh
(Away)
I can't believe it's true
I found out that you're not you
You said you'd stay, yes I recall
But you're leaving after all
