Leaving Too Soon
This is a really sad little song about breaking up with someone. It also sprang from a short musical phrase I came up with that sounded like "I think that you're leaving too soon." And that opened a whole story.
We tried all the ways to try to stay together
Talking to our friends and to our strangers
We did all the dances
We said all the prayers
It comed around the same
that our days are coming to a close.
that our days are coming to a close.
It’s time to split our things
Yes, it’s time to break apart.
To pick which thing will go with you
Which will go with me
And there are things we can not split
And those we’ll be leaving behind
And those we’ll be leaving behind
It keeps on coming up
With all this hurt and hurting
The person I need to tell
I can not talk to now
You’re not there for me
You can’t be there for me
That’s not us anymore
It’s time to split our friends
Yes, it’s time to split our friends
To pick which friends will stick with you
Which will stick with me
And there are friends we can not split
And those we’ll be leaving behind
And those we’ll be leaving behind
Not sure what’s left of me
Without you it seems
I no longer know
Just who I should should be
Without you there with me
Not sure what’s left of me
Not sure what’s left of me
What about our plans?
The trips we were going to take
And the pictures from the times we spent
What do we do with these?
Keeps coming down so hard to me
There’s a lot we are throwing away.
There’s a lot we are throwing away.
What about the smiles we shared
The things that made us laugh
All we shared is history
Put it away in boxes
Leave it at the curb
All we can share is tears
That’s all we have left.
Think you’re leaving too soon.
Yes, I think you’re leaving too soon.
I know you have to go
I think that we both know
That that our days are coming to a close
I still think you’re leaving too soon.
I still think you’re leaving too soon.
I still think you’re leaving too soon.
