It's true I often thought of leaving

But it's you

I never stopped believing

When I was down

Your arms were open to me

When the cost of loving was free

You were much to sure to re-arrange

My love for you hasn't changed

But you have.



Chorus 

I'm leaving

I'm leaving

Goodbye 



The ones you tried to keep inside

Are on the streets

You tried to hide

With walls you built

So strong and tall

No one thought

That they could fall

But the lies you put

Between the cracks

To hold us down

And keep us back

Have fallen through.



(Chorus)



You asked

Will I

Come back to you

I just can't see that

Coming true

Like sea-birds

On a high spring tide

Whose paths can't run

Side by side

I couldn't take it

Anymore

And like a sea-bird

On a winter's shore

I'm leaving.



(Chorus)
