I'm Sorry I'm Leaving Lyrics
How much longer can I do this?
How much longer will anyone care?
Cause I've been spending my whole life waiting
For the other shoe to disappear
I'm doing my best to keep it together
So my daughter never has to worry
I just wonder when this will all blow up in my face
And I'm sorry that I leave
But I promise to, I promise to always come home
This would all be easier
If I could just believe in God
But I would rather bet
That eternity is the love I show my daughter
I've been trying to keep to together
I even found a new therapist
It's not my child's problem to clean up my mess
I promise my darling I'm doing my best
And I'm sorry that I leave
But I promise to, I promise to always come home
I'm sorry that I'm broken
I promise you I'll be whole again
And I'm sorry
I'm doing my best to keep it together (I'm sorry)
I'm sorry
I'm doing my best to keep it together (I'm sorry)
And I'm sorry that I leave
But I promise to, I promise to always come home
I'm doing my best to keep it together
So my daughter never has to worry
I'm doing my best to keep it together
So my daughter never has to worry
How much longer will anyone care?
Cause I've been spending my whole life waiting
For the other shoe to disappear
So my daughter never has to worry
I just wonder when this will all blow up in my face
But I promise to, I promise to always come home
If I could just believe in God
But I would rather bet
That eternity is the love I show my daughter
I even found a new therapist
It's not my child's problem to clean up my mess
I promise my darling I'm doing my best
But I promise to, I promise to always come home
I promise you I'll be whole again
I'm doing my best to keep it together (I'm sorry)
I'm sorry
I'm doing my best to keep it together (I'm sorry)
But I promise to, I promise to always come home
So my daughter never has to worry
I'm doing my best to keep it together
So my daughter never has to worry

Senses Fail frontman Buddy Nielsen told RockSound about the meaning of "I\'m Sorry I\'m Leaving", "I wrote this song about the constant struggling with making music and art as a living. I am constantly waiting for it to all fail and disappear even 20 years into a career. At no point do I ever feel safe. After having a child, the relationship with this lifestyle became more strained. Having to leave home and lose time with your child while also hoping that what you do continues to support your family and remains fulfilling is complicated. Continuing to improve and remove my own trauma in order to be a better father is the bases and goal of the song."
