Well I tried my best to make it right
But it just won't go away
When you're all alone, you're by yourself
Then it's time to separate from here

The choice is mine and mine alone
You just can't make me stay
'Cause when you feel like you don't know yourself
Then it's time to step away

I need to leave
I need to breathe til the day my lungs turn thin
I need to see
Need to see til the day my eyes grow dim
I need to leave
Live my own life
I need to save
Need to save my s o u l

Been sailing on
We've created this life
To the point we can't relieve
'Cause where I stand is where I hide
I never once believed
That when the timing's right
We say goodbye
To the words we never missed
When we look in the mirror & nobody's there
To the point we don't exist
Well then...

I need to leave
I need to breathe til the day my lungs turn thin
I need to see
Need to see til the day my eyes grow dim
I need to leave
Live my own life
I need to save
Need to save my s o u l

Tell me,
Now that you know me
Everything, everything will be better
Tell me
Now that you've heard me
Everything, everything will be alright

I need to leave
I need to breathe til the day my lungs turn thin
I need to see
Need to see til the day my eyes grow dim
I need to leave
Live my own life
I need to save
Need to save my s o u l

Tell me
Now that you love me
That everything will be better
