Leaving Me

Have I ever told you

That leaving me would do more harm

Than just hurt me?

It would scare me.

Chorus:

I weep and I struggle,

I forget my power.

This is gonna make me stronger,

I know this in my head;

But I want to hold onto you,

Just a little bit longer.

You’re walking away

And I shake in a shell of anger;

You’re blaming me

With words I would’ve said.

Chorus

You scream at me

Tell me that I’m the one that made you bleed;

Make me shiver in a pool

Of forbidden and misplaced shame.

Chorus

I weep and I struggle,

I forget my power.

But I want to hold onto you,

Just a little but longer.

Pretend That You're Dead

This hurts,

This is painful.

Hell is finally freezing over,

And I’m doing something that I never thought

I would do.

Chorus:

Because this is the time

That I finally have to say goodbye,

And the only way that I can deal with this grief

Is to pretend that you’re dead;

Pretend that you’re dead in my world

And that I’ll never get to see you again,

Never hear your voice again.

Because you decided to cut the ties,

After all these years,

I guess the past five have all been lies—

So I’m going to shed a few last tears

It’s time to move on,

You’re no longer here.

Chorus

Maybe you met somebody new,

But I’m done second guessing

Everything that you’ve said and done—

Just going to cherish all the memories

Reminisce knowing that it wasn’t my fault,

Remember the man I loved who wasn’t

Leaving me in the dust, alone.

Chorus

Pretend that you’re dead

Because I’m done and you’re oh so gone.

You’re out of my life.

Chorus

Oh no, I’m just going to pretend that you’re dead.
