Leaving It All Behind Lyrics

At the end of the day I’ll be long gone
It’s time to leave I’ve been here too long
I’m not packing a bag, I’m leaving it all behind.
This town I live in is small and mean
And I was born with bigger dreams
No fond farewells, I’m leaving it all behind.

The road ahead leads to finer places
Greener fields and different faces
So many things that I can’t wait to see.
The place I was born has held me back
But I’ve broken free and my life’s back on track
So many things I could choose to be.

So many years I woke up everyday with this dream
So many wonders around now I’m part of the scene.

Closing my eyes catch my breath at the end of each day
All that I see is this city as I fade away.

Tried for ten years, but I don’t belong here
It drives me to tears, but I don’t belong here
So it seems that it’s time I went home
Back to the streets that I left so long ago.

This wasn’t the plan, I came here to be free,
It’s all just a sham, they’re all as trapped as me, It seems that it’s time I went home,
Back to the streets that I left so long ago.

No fond farewells, there’s nothing here for me
Not packing a bag, there’s nothing that I need.
It seems that it’s time I went home
Back to the streets that I left so long ago.

At the end of the day I’m walking away,
Never believed I’d see this day,
I’m turning my back, I’m leaving it all behind,
The stories I’d heard were all fool’s gold,
There’s nothing left of the dream I was sold,
Not packing a bag, I’m leaving it all behind,

If I turn my back all will be well,
This forsaken place can go to hell,
I'm going home, I’m leaving this all behind.

Oh, there’s nothing left that I call home,
The places have changed
And there’s no one left I know.

No, I never should have gone away,
I’m searching for the words
But there’s nothing left to say.
