Are You Leaving?

We talked about it again before you left
Before I felt my tongue grow heavy
And dampen all the thoughts inside my head
They spark apart in turn and feed my dread

The feeling
Of leaving

I don't wanna talk about this
Anymore than you
But while I clamor for an answer
I stagger from the truth

You're the reason that I stayed
Though I'd hate to see you go away
I need to know

Writing letters that I'll never send
Tearing canvas I don't intend to mend
Out of all the people that I've met
You will be the hardest to forget

Will I fade
Away?

I don't wanna talk about it
Anymore than you
But as I clamor for an answer
I stagger from the truth

You're the reason that I stayed
Though I'd hate to see you go away
I need to know

Are you leaving?
Are you leaving me?

(just tell me the words to make you stay
Just tell me that things will be okay
Just make things out to be the same
Just make it okay, delay the pain.)

Cuz I don't wanna talk about this
Anymore than you
But I think that you need answers
And we both know the truth

As much as I want you to stay
There's nothing I could ever say
I'll let you go

Are you leaving?
Are you leaving me?

In the last days of our youth
Where we saw through the sinew
Your red hair, your blue coupe
In the place where I lost you
