Leaving Atlanta Songtext
von Brian Webb

She said I love you
Like an apology to herself
Maybe it was for me
I could not tell
She said it like she should have known better

She said I′d miss you
Like some kind of promise made from her head
To a heart not to forget

These were soft hands
These were soft hands

She said I'll wait for you
Like a widow waits for sleep
To hold a lover that she grieves
A life together that they weave
But more she waits like I was something
To be waited for


I am leaving Atlanta
I am leaving this home
I am leaving Atlanta
I am

So she holds on to hope
Like it′s something she's thinking of keeping
She'll start making it hard for you to leave
If it′s any consolation
She said it′s always harder to be left
She said it's hard to try to live in
All this town you made your life in

I just sent you a letter
It′ll be at least three days
Until you know your heart has been broken

I am leaving Atlanta
I am leaving this home
I am leaving Atlanta
I am


She said I'll wait for you
Like a widow waits for sleep
To hold a lover that she grieves
A life together that they weave
But more she waits like I was something
To be waited for

I am leaving Atlanta
I am leaving this home
I am leaving Atlanta
I am

I am leaving Atlanta
I am leaving this home
I am leaving
I am leaving
I am

She said I love you
Like an apology, babe
She said I love you
Like an apology, babe
She said I love you
