"If I Leave Today" lyrics

The walls were caving in
I grabbed what I could fit
My hands, they were shaking
My head was in a spin
My feet felt like a weight
With every step I'd take
I could feel the pressure
Like a dog, I was running for the gate

When I am gone
Don't follow me; I wanna leave now
I won't be long
Not coming back to this here town
Don't lie awake
It'll only take a few days
How long will it be till you find out?
I'm

Tired of staying (la la la la la la lala)
So I'm leaving (la la la la la la lala)
A memory (If I leave today, you'll never know)
I'll have to be

I walked up on the train
And every stranger's face
Looked the other way
So I just stood in place
The ground began to shake
The walls, they walked away
I was running out of time
But I wasn't running late

When I am gone
Don't follow me; I wanna leave now
I won't be long
Not coming back to this here town
Don't lie awake
It'll only take a few days
How long will it be till you find out?

Tired of staying (la la la la la la lala)
So I'm leaving (la la la la la la lala)
A memory (If I leave today, you'll never know)
Just let me be

Just another runaway
Left to find a better place
Packed it all up in a case
No expression on his face
He's leaving out, not checking in
Gone and swept up with the wind
Take a picture while you can

A memory is what I'll have to be
Just let me be
A memory (la la la la la la lala)
I'll have to be (If I leave today, you'll never know)
A memory (la la la la la la lala)
Just let me go
