(VERSE 1)
I can't cure what's wrong with you
Hands pressed to the door outside
your room
If you only knew

I'm trying hard to keep my grip
(It's) like hanging onto a sinking ship
all alone
Don't pretend you don't know

(But) water pours in from all sides
I hold my breath and close my eyes-
what if there's nothing left to say but - good-bye
So oh I'm -

(CHORUS)
Leavin' - leavin'
Don't you know I'm Leavin' - leavin'
Don't you know
You don't know what you're missing
You don't know - So oh I'm
(x2)
I'm cutting the chord - I'm not towing your line
Yeah - I'm setting you lose, gonna leave you behind
You don't know what you're missing
You won't know what you're missing
'Cause I'm Leavin' Leavin'

(VERSE 2)
Like strangers on a crowded street
I feel you look - my way but our
eyes never meet
it's so bittersweet

I can't keep you close to me
I can't keep holding onto what this could be
And you know what I need

All these words you could say - but hide
You'd never think to compromise
There's nothing left for me to say but - good-bye

(CHORUS)
Leavin' - leavin'
Don't you know I'm Leavin' - leavin'
Don't you know
You don't know what you're missing
You don't know what you're missing
(x2)

(BRIDGE)
I've been waiting such a long time
Always looking for a searchlight
but now I think I finally see - I see yeah
