Analysis of Leaving
Should I go or should I stay?
I don't think I can take this lifestyle
One more day
I'm in your way or so it seems
Our love is falling down around us
At the seams
I don't want to step aside
I don't know what I feel inside
There is so much I don't know how to say
We were in love once before
Now I'm headed for the door
There is nothing left but lost time
It's hard to believe that you were never mine
I don't want to cross the line
Pretending all of this is fine
We can't seem to find another way
If it all just fell apart
We can't make a brand new start
No other way, no me and you, only dismay
