Leaving Tonight Lyrics
You fooled me from the start
When you let me start to love you
It's like a bunch of broken picture frames
But the photo still remains the same
And I, I thought it'd be easy to run
But my legs are broken.
All alone
All we know
Is haunting me
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
Oh
I'm leaving tonight x 5
I'll be gone in the morning
I saw it from afar
But my eyes have always fooled me
It looked to me like all the sidewalks started walking
I swear to god the voices wouldn't shut up
And I, I figured it all to be love
But this isn't lovely
All alone
All we know
Is haunting me
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
Oh
I'm leaving tonight x 5
I'll be gone in the morning
Oh, no
Oh, we know
It's haunting me
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
Oh, woah
I'm leaving tonight x 5
I'll be gone in the morning
When you let me start to love you
It's like a bunch of broken picture frames
But the photo still remains the same
But my legs are broken.
All we know
Is haunting me
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
I'm leaving tonight x 5
I'll be gone in the morning
But my eyes have always fooled me
It looked to me like all the sidewalks started walking
I swear to god the voices wouldn't shut up
But this isn't lovely
All we know
Is haunting me
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
I'm leaving tonight x 5
I'll be gone in the morning
Oh, we know
Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe
I'll be gone in the morning

This song is probably about a relationship ''You fooled me from the start When you let me start to love you'' I kinda points that way, but there's also another meaning - at least to me.
To me, this song is about suicide. It's very obvious with the chorus: ''I'm leaving tonight, I'll be gone in the morning'' But also in the rest of the lyrics.
''It's like a bunch of broken picture frames But the photo still remains the same'' Maybe feeling like a broken person, but you're just kinda still there? I mean, you breathe, your heart beats and you live, but you're suffocating, you can't feel anything, and you're not really alive.
''And I, I thought it'd be easy to run But my legs are broken.'' When you don't have problems or issues, they don't feel like such a big threat, and you feel like you're a strong person, capable of solving your problems. But when you're not alright, when you discover your legs to be broken (or your faith or hope) you can't really run or do anything? Or, when I was little, I had the idea that I would always be able to just move or have a break from my problems or the things haunting me. But when it isn't other people anymore that's the problem, it's impossible to run away from.
''All alone All we know Is haunting me Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe'' Everything crashing down, making you feel unable to breathe, like you're suffocating. It overwhelms you, especially if you're all alone.
''And I, I figured it all to be love But this isn't lovely'' Life doesn't seem hard, and it's supposed to be good - sometimes hard - but great and beautiful. Sometimes it's just hard. It should be lovely to be alive - what a privilege! - but this is not lovely at all.
''I'm leaving tonight, I'll be gone in the morning''
Personally to me, this song is about suicide. "You fooled me from the start When you let me start to love you" As in he started to love life but he then realized that life isn't as beautiful as he thought it would be.
"And I, I thought it'd be easy to run But my legs are broken." The thought that he could escape the bad things in life, but then realized its kinda impossible to escape it.
"All alone All we know Is haunting me Making it harder to breathe, harder to breathe" Life is getting harder and all the problems are getting worst and worst that he feels no escape.
"Oh I'm leaving tonight x 5 I'll be gone in the morning" I mean this is kinda obvious but he says that this is it. tonight he suicides and by tomorrow he'll be gone.
" I saw it from afar But my eyes have always fooled me" He saw that his problems wouldn't get better but his thoughts told him the other, that it will get better.
"It looked to me like all the sidewalks started walking" No matter how many problems he overcame, it would just keep going and going.
"I swear to god the voices wouldn't shut up" Al the things he's going through are starting to torment him and he can't find peace
"And I, I figured it all to be love But this isn't lovely" He thought that everything he's going through is something that will bring good to him but he realized it wont bring anything good at the end.
