Leaving

Thirty seconds and a dial tone
Hang me up and now I’m alone
Disconnected on a cellphone, yeah

Old photos on a hard drive
No one goodbye
Losing everything in real time

Was it something I said or something that I forgot?
Something I am or something that I’m not?
Was it the times that I tried to hold your hand
When you pulled away and disappeared again?

If I got on my knees and begged you to stay
Woud you look at my eyes or turn the other way?
I guess love is just terribly easy when you’re the one leaving

Slow pace in the left lane
Your face stuck on my brain
You cut the tape like a freeze frame, yeah

I was holding on so tight
No point in putting up a real fight
Watch you vanish right in plain sight

Was it something I said or something that I forgot?
Something I am or something that I’m not?
Was it the times that I tried to hold your hand
When you pulled away and disappeared again?

If I got on my knees and begged you to stay
Woud you look at my eyes or turn the other way?
I guess love is just terribly easy when you’re the one

Looking down at the ground thinking how it’s not you, it’s me
(When you’re the one)
Not thinking twice, must be nice to feel like your heart’s in one piece
(When you’re the one)
Going home, I’m alone, should’ve known it’s not what it seems

(When you’re the one)
(When you’re the one)
(When you’re the one)
