You couldn't relate to me then because I wasn't as quick with my jokes 

And I'd barely escaped from my childhood bed, there were so many people that

I didn't know then



But I was leaving

I was leaving and that held appeal to you

I was leaving

And when you're leaving, others feel it too



You said, "you don't look the same when you're leaving."

At least that's what I think that you said

There were so many things I was feeling

I was scared and confused and I mostly felt bad



But I was leaving

I was leaving and I found some comfort there

I was leaving

Too stupid or too brave to care



And I don't care where they go

It's all these things that I've let go

And I know how it seemed then, but I'm still bleeding

And I don't care who knows

I don't care



So the day has finally come to settle up

And I'm quicker with my words, but it never is enough

And The ones I used to know were so conceited

I thought of them then, but I never will again, why did I think of you then?



Cause you were leaving

You were leaving and that held appeal to me

You were leaving

And when you're leaving you get thought of constantly
