To Leave Someone

Love is a destroying wind
A slow retreating army
It’s a lone star on the horizon
Calling to the sea

And though I know feelings change
And words are cheap
Tonight you’re dying to be heard
So much you’re talking in your sleep
You say you want to leave someone
You say you want to leave someone
Well, how ‘bout me?

No-one keeps anything
Some day it all gets taken away
Even the greatest love
Is gonna fade

So now you wake at night
Look into that familiar face
Those breaths you used to count
Those hands you used to trace
You say you want to leave someone
You say you want to leave someone
Well, how ‘bout me?

You say you want to leave someone
Well, how ‘bout me?
