Lyrics

The Leaving Song

[Chorus]
Walked away,
Heard them say,
Poison hearts will never change
Walk away again
Turned away in disgrace
Felt the chill upon my face
Cooling from within
Hard to notice
Gleaming from the sky
When your staring at the cracks
Hard to notice
What is passing by
With eyes low, Oh
Walked away
Heard them say
Poison hearts will never change
Walk away again
All the cracks they lead right to me
And all the cracks will crawl right through me
All the cracks they lead right to me
And all the cracks will crawl right through me
And they'll part
As I
[Chorus]
