Leaving Lyrics

see the sun drip from the sky
mascara stains clouding your eyes
slowly the raindrop falls

see the rain fall from the day
the fire escape is leading the way
somewhere a taxi calls

you're leaving girl
to seal your fate
leaving girl
to run, run way

to see the sun
to see the light
leaving girl, live your life

I see your love has slipped from your life
The winter sun and suburban skies
Are calling your name this time

I see the rain
Fall from the day
The fire escapes the blues and the greys
Will always remain the same

So you're leaving girl
to seal your fate
leaving girl to run, run away
To see the sun to see the light
So you're leaving girl
to seal your fate
And see the world and run, run away
To see the sun to see the light
So you're leaving girl, to live your life
And live your life

So you're leaving girl
to seal your fate
to see the world and run, run away
To see the sun to see the light
So you're leaving girl to catch the plane
To see the world and run right away
To see the sun to see the light
So you're leaving girl to live your life
Live your life

Live your life

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

this song has no mention of what she is leaving? it's sung in third person as well which adds a very nice touch. she's going to seal her fate, see the sun, to see and world and run, run away. i can only imagine that she's going off to uni or to a new town or job or travelling. i doubt that this osng is about a break up
