And I know it's time to leave They gave their lives to me I made songs about how much I disliked that place Looking back touched by sweet sadness Leaving home and seeking out Kiss my past goodbye and turn to walk out of their will It's time to leave I can't deny it was holding me back And I can't deny I was kept of 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 And I don't know why I shouldn't leave It's time to leave (And leave this world alone) It's time to leave (And leave this world alone) It's time to leave (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 It's time to leave (And leave this world alone) It's time to leave (And leave 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 disliked that place It's time to leave
