about

This song is about self protection. Removing yourself from someone's life so they can't hurt or control you anymore. The lyric 'I'm Leaving Town' is not literal. The 'town' refers to the relationship itself, or perhaps the state of being emotionally available for my ex.

Classic heartbreak.

lyrics

I found a photograph
Of us when we were happy
And not only that
But you were looking at me
Like I was the only one for you
And I’ve got memories
Inside of all the things
That you gave to me
Hear it in the songs
That you sang for me
While I was the one for you

The next time you go searching
For all that glitters and gold
You better listen up boy
Cause you never heard me
The first five times I told ya
That the girl that you leave here
She gonna disappear
You ain’t gonna know her
So when you wanna get found

I won’t be around
Just waiting for a change
That isn’t coming right now
Yeah I’m leaving town
The next time you
Look back here
I’m not gonna make a sound

I used to smile once
At all the little things
That remind me of
You and me and us
And the kinda love
That we just don’t have no more
Now I wanna be blind
And all I do is cry analyse and
Try to remember why
Why we just don’t
Have it no more

I don’t know what
You’re searching for
Oh cause every time
You would fly
I would die a little bit inside
Lying on the floor
I used an Etch A Sketch to
Count all the days
That I had left
Hoping you would just

Cash all your change in
I’m sick of waiting
Waiting for you
To go and change your mind
And I’m suffocating
Trying to get your attention
While another year goes by

You used to adore me
I could see it in your
Face when saw me
You could say it
Somehow without talking
Like I was the one for you
That’s just the thing
I felt it when those
Looks stopped happening
The love that you had
Given was unravelling
Turns out I’m not
The one for you
