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

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:

  1. They left each other because of the differences between them and such, but one of them doesn't want to break up ("What about us?" / "What about me?")
  2. One of them is leaving to pursue a dream or something like that (Roughly based on the music video for this song, which is quite good in my opinion.)

The intro didn't remind me of my last breath at all, this song is great!
