Leaving After All

3

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
