You're the Reason I'm Leaving

Franz Ferdinand

Some granite wall
Numbs our bones, numbs our all
As we sit on skinny hands
Nothing to say, nothing at all
I don't know you and I don't want to
You're so awkward just like me
But I don't care

You're the reason I'm leaving
You're the reason I'm leaving
And by leaving, we don't stop living you know

I'd no idea that in four years
I'd be hanging from a beam
Behind the door of number ten
Singing "well, fare thee well"
Fare thee well
Fare thee well
I am leaving
Yes, I leave it all to you

You're the reason I'm leaving
You're the reason I'm leaving
And by leaving, we don't stop living you know

I'm the reason you're leaving
You're the reason I'm leaving
And by leaving, we don't stop living you know

As we ride along under an optimistic sun
The radio sings that "Everybody" song by REM
And here I am fighting fighting
Yes I'm fighting not to cry
And that's another reason
Why I ought to hate you like I do
Like I do, oh like I do

You're the reason I'm leaving (leaving alone)
You're the reason I'm leaving (leaving alone)
And by leaving, we don't stop living you know

I'm the reason you're leaving (leaving alone)
You are the reason you're leaving (leaving alone)
If we're leaving, we don't stop living you know
