And I know it's time to leave
They gave their lives to me
I made songs about
How much I dislike that place
Looking back, touched by sweet sadness
Leaving home and seeking out
I kissed my past good-bye
and turned to walk out of their will
It's time to leave
(Yeah!)
I can't deny it was holding me back
And I can't deny I was kept on track
And I don't know why I shouldn't leave
I can't deny I was blinded by love
And I can't deny I needed that shove
I don't know why I shouldn't leave
I don't know why I shouldn't leave
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to leave, leave
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to leave, leave
As a child I was protected by love
As a child I got careless of love
So I don't know why I shouldn't leave
But now I'm free to do what I want
And now I'm free to think on my own
I don't know why I shouldn't leave
So I don't know why I shouldn't leave
(Come on!)
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to leave, leave
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to leave (I need this world alone)
It's time to live, live
And I know it's time to leave
They gave their lives to me
I made songs about
How much I dislike that place
It's time to leave
