LEAVIN’

The Story

I wrote this song for my Godsister and Godbrother who were leaving me to grow up and go away for university.

Lyrics

I know that you’re leavin’
and it’s not goodbye.
It’s hard to believe that we have
fallen pray to time.

[Pre-Chorus]
How it flies
How it lies
How it hides right in plain sight
While the world,
always turns
After goodbyes and final words

[Chorus]
Will you miss me when you’re gone?
Will you think of me in the dawn?
Will you see me face in the stars?
Will you hear my voice in your heart?

I tried not to see it, but you
can’t outrun the face of pent-up pride
No one wanted healin’
I can’t be the only one who’s putting in all the —

[Pre-Chorus]
Time
How it flies
How it’s gone in the blink of an eye
While the world
Always turns
After goodbyes and final words

[Chorus]
Will you miss me when you’re gone?
Will you think of me in the dawn?
Will you see me face in the stars?
Will you hear my voice in your heart?

If your heart is bleedin’
then mine is beatin’ for the both of us, when it
gets too much, I’ll be the one speakin’ up
there’s no need to rush

I know that you’re leavin’
and it’s not goodbye.

[Chorus]
Will you miss me when you’re gone?
Will you think of me in the dawn?
Will you see me face in the stars?
Will you hear my voice,
like I hear your voice,
in my heart?
