Leave

This is a song by Matchbox Twenty... it goes right along with the lines of 'Push'. I love the line "I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me." Typical, isn't it? How can two people who were close together suddenly turn into strangers overnight, turning their faces "just like a wall"? From love and trust to animosity and aynonmity. It almost makes you think that relationships of any kind are perverse. True reflections of a cruel world? Think about the mother who loves her children so dearly, only to be sent to an old folks' home. Think about the couple who broke up and now cannot stand to be in the same room as each other. Are love and emotions really but intangible things, to be enjoyed one day but lost another? It almost makes you feel pessimistic about everything.

It's amazing
How you make your face just like a wall
How you take your heart and turn it off
How I turn my head and lose it all

It's unnerving
How just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trusting someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell

I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm not saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

But if that's how it's gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
You know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

It's aggravating
How you threw me on and you tore me out
How your good intentions turn to doubt
The way you needed time to sort it out
I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
I'm not saying we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me

But if that's how it's gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand,
whenYou know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

I'm not saying there wasn't nothing wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
But if that's how it's gonna leave
Straight out from underneath
Then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
You know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out

Tell me is that how it's going to end
When you know you've been depending on
The one you're leaving now
And the one you're leaving out
The one you're leaving now
The one you're leaving out
