 (Beginning)

Leavin' isn't quite the same

-(Don't use short form)

You said to me, it's runnin' away.

If you're scared or tired of what you're scared of

 Why should you stay

You love to say goodbye

And always counted all the time

 'til he was free

 to get up and leave

 to learn how to breathe

again...

Slippin' out to have a cigarette

 with someone else that he'd never met

Ask her if by the way would you like to

 run away... and try to forget

Just not to stay

To leave without saying why

 To get up and go

 To catch the last train

 To get in some car and drive out again

 To never come back this way

Left to say:

goodbye

 so long

farewell

au revoir

goodbye

 so long

farewell

au revoir
