lyrics

He stood on top of his history cold
And thought about fantasies he couldn't hold
All he could picture was when he'd been told,
"I'm leaving you"

When he was a child he hid under the stairs
And saw through the door him pulling her hair
Until one day at breakfast he heard her declare,
"I'm leaving you"

I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you

They were walking together and holding hands
Which soon were embellished by wedding bands
But he barely even heard her when she said in the sands,
"I'm leaving you"

I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you

He was fine for a while, but he couldn't hide
From leftover hatred and loneliness wide
So he wasn't surprised when his happiness cried,
"I'm leaving you"

I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you

So he kicked his feet and knocked over the chair
And as he swallowed his mouthful of air
His mind turned to him and said with a prayer,
"I'm leaving you"

I'm leaving you
I'm leaving you
