Lyrics

Leaving You

[Verse 1] I will wear my hair The way he likes me to And I will play the game The way he would want me to [Chorus] But I'm leaving you I'm leaving you It's been a long time coming That I've been afraid Of how to live the life that I have made I have made [Verse 2] I will lead the life, my dad And he said I could You won't need, you won't need to know You never had [Chorus] So I'm leaving you I'm leaving you It's been a long time coming Of how to live the life that I have made I have made
