Well I tried my best to make it right
But it just won't go away
When you're all alone, you're by yourself
Then it's time to separate
From here
The choice is mine and mine alone
You just can't make me stay
When you feel like you don't know yourself
Well then it's time to step away

Chorus:
I need to leave,
I need to breathe till the day my lungs turn thin
I need to see
I need to see till the day my eyes grow dim
I need to leave and live my own life
I need to save
Need to save my soul

Been sailing on
Created this life to the point we can't relieve
'Cause when I stand is where I hide
And I never once believed that
When the timing's right we say goodbye
To the words we've never missed
Cause when we look in the mirror and nobody's there
To the point we don't exist

I need to leave,
I need to breathe till the day my lungs turn thin
I need to see
I need to see till the day my eyes grow dim
I need to leave and live my own life
I need to save
Need to save my soul

Tell me, know that you know me
Everything will be better
Tell me, know that you heard me
Everything will be Alright

Tell me, know that you know me
Everything will be better
Tell me, know that you heard me
Everything will be Alright

I need to leave,
I need to breathe till the day my lungs turn thin
I need to see
I need to see till the day my eyes grow dim
I need to leave and live my own life
I need to save
Need to save my soul

Tell me, now that you love me
That everything will be better
Ohh
