Leaving You for Me Lyrics
(with Martin Kesici)
Martin:
I'm sitting here alone
What else could I have done?
I can't regret 'cause I don't even know what I did wrong
Freedom died with you
I'm searching for myself
When I feel alive
(What about me?)
Chorus:
Leaving you for me (What about us?)
Try to understand
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
Tarja:
Hiding from the truth
His strange been through his thoughts
I can't let go exploring every corner of his soul
Life has to go on
You still find your way
Or I feel alive
(What about me?)
Chorus:
Leaving you for me (What about us?)
Try to understand
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
Martin:
I've locked the door
Tarja:
Deep inside
Both:
Different memories
Tarja (Martin talking):
Lost what counts
deep inside,
different stories...
(What about me?)
Chorus:
Leaving you for me (what about us?)
Try to understand
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
Leaving you for me
(Tarja: Leaving you for me....)
(What about us?)
Try to understand
(Martin: Try to understand)
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
Tarja:
Ooooh....
Martin:
I try to hold back
I'm sitting here alone
What else could I have done?
I can't regret 'cause I don't even know what I did wrong
Freedom died with you
I'm searching for myself
When I feel alive
Leaving you for me (What about us?)
Try to understand
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
Hiding from the truth
His strange been through his thoughts
I can't let go exploring every corner of his soul
Life has to go on
You still find your way
Or I feel alive
Leaving you for me (What about us?)
Try to understand
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
I've locked the door
Tarja:
Deep inside
Both:
Different memories
Tarja (Martin talking):
Lost what counts
deep inside,
different stories...
Leaving you for me (what about us?)
Try to understand
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
(Tarja: Leaving you for me....)
(What about us?)
Try to understand
(Martin: Try to understand)
That I'm only leaving you for me
I try to hold back
Deep inside my head
It won't let go
Ooooh....
Martin:
I try to hold back

This is a neat song. I've never listened to Tarja sing without Nightwish before. This is pretty good, though the intro sounds similiar to My Last Breath by Evanescence.
Sounds to me like a song about a couple who want to break up because they're not sure what they want, and if they're finding it in each other anymore.
Agreed, RainbowDemon. Though, I think that either one of the following might also be true:
