[Intro]

I'm leaving without you, can't do this anymore

So, goodbye, goodbye to us because I'm leaving


[Verse 1]

You believe me now? When I said I won’t be around?

And I’m so sorry to everybody, but I’m leaving town

Too far away to reach me now, disappear down beneath these clouds

Don’t shed a tear for me please be proud

All I wanted was the peace I found (Peace I found)

I been strong for so fucking long

And I hate it how, on the outside, I can fake a smile

While inside, I been crying out, but don’t make a sound

Now breaking down, nobody noticed my pain around

I’m not coming home tonight, dinner's cold

Time to end the show as I take a bow (Take a bow)

Growing old and getting colder

Where you finna go when the show is over?

Goal to go, I’m never gonna hold a boulder

Shoulders foldin' when I’m on the open road

And not close to home, I’m going coast to coast up in this locomotive

Ain’t no hope to slow because his soul is broken

Man he’s comatose from all the overdosing (Overdosing)

Feel the sting of a switchblade

That’s right in my rib cage, it’s leaving a scar now

The people that wish pain, they want me to fall down

Been pulling me this way, then pulling me that way

You’re ripping my heart out, alone in my car, how?

I needed you that day, I’ll never come back, babe

I think I’m too far out, I live in the fast lane

It’s like I’m outta energy, I do not have enough in the gas tank (Gas tank)


[Chorus]

I'm leaving without you, can't do this anymore, so, goodbye

Goodbye to us because I'm leaving, I’m leaving without you

Can’t do this anymore, so, goodbye, goodbye to us because I'm leaving


[Verse 2]

You kick me to the curb and treat me like a dog

Hate me while I’m here, so, I disappear

Now don’t you dare miss me when I’m gone (When I'm gone)

In the end it was indefensible

You wished the best of both worlds

Wanted me to remain dependable, but where were you

When I was pinned against the ropes (Pinned against the ropes)

And I ain’t really wanna stoop so low, fuses blow

Then I went and blew that smoke

In the face of these putrid, rude assholes

You should know, my life is the Truman show

Going way too fast, two lane road, one way ticket, no way home

Oh, painful can’t wait to crash, step on the gas and I lose control

I look at the sky, wondering why every day people will die

Humans are funny, we cheat and we lie, fight over money

That piece of the pie, lot of us love, more of us hate

Devils at work no one’s born a saint, we go to church, for an escape

But there’s nowhere to run, not immortal to fate

Life is a story of pain, life is a story of shame

But life is a glorious thing, look at the world

Look at the horrible things, now look at the joy it can bring

I take the good with the bad, no matter the sun or the rain

'Cause even on darkest of nights

There’ll be light in the morning again (Morning again)


[Chorus]

I'm leaving without you, can't do this anymore, so, goodbye

Goodbye to us because I'm leaving, I’m leaving without you

Can’t do this anymore, so, goodbye, goodbye to us because I'm leaving
