Leaving - David Myles

I may be leaving here too early

I may be leaving here too late

But I know I will be leaving

Cause leaving is my fate

Leaving is my fate

It’s the only state I’ve ever known

And I don’t ask whether

There’s something better than being alone

I don’t bother unpacking

My suitcase or my clothes

I keep my hands on the wheel

And my eyes on the road

Cause leaving is my fate

It’s the only state I’ve ever known

I don’t let things get too close

Cause I know I’ll have to let 'em go

Let 'em go, let 'em go

Cause leaving things behind

Is part of my state of mind

The only way to survive

Is by learning how to say goodbye

I feel steady when I’m rolling

Unsettled when I’m not

I don’t have much

But I need the things I’ve got

Cause leaving is my fate

It’s the only state I’ve ever known

If I ever dreamed of something different

I learned how to let it go

Let it go, let it go

Cause leaving things behind

Is part of my state of mind

The only way to survive

Is by learning how to say goodbye
