Lyrics
[ VERSE ONE ]
I'd have followed you to the sun,
If I'd thought I'd find someone
waiting there for me.
And if you were drowning,
I'd throw myself into the sea.
Cause there was a time I used to think
That by your side was where I was supposed to be.
[ CHORUS ]
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind,
I've recently got to the point I don't mind
The weight of it all had me sinking to the bottom
I was drowning in a sea of my own problems.
But I've laid down roots and started to grow,
Now all these memories seem so old
And these days all I really know
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind,
I've recently got to the point I don't mind
[ VERSE TWO ]
I used to be lost looking for direction,
I never asked you for a mansion,
You took everything I had to give,
including my very own will to live
And left me to the vultures.
You seemed to relish in my torture.
But I'm glad I don't know you anymore
[ CHORUS ]
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind,
I've recently got to the point I don't mind
The weight of it all had me sinking to the bottom
I was drowning in a sea of my own problems.
But I've laid down roots and started to grow,
Now all these memories seem so old
And these days all I really know
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind,
I've recently got to the point I don't mind
[ VERSE THREE ]
I tried to drink my pain away,
I lost myself in everyday
It's a miracle I survived but
I didn't waste all those tears I cried.
It's beautiful on the other side.
Our souls will be here till the end of time
And I'm glad I let those things die
[ CHORUS ]
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind,
I've recently got to the point I don't mind
The weight of it all had me sinking to the bottom
I was drowning in a sea of my own problems.
But I've laid down roots and started to grow,
Now all these memories seem so old
And these days all I really know
Sometimes you gotta leave it all behind,
I've recently got to the point I don't mind
[ CONCLUSION ]
It's beautiful on the other side.
Our souls will be here till the end of time
And I'm glad I let those things die
I've recently got to the point I don't mind
That sometimes you gotta leave it all behind...
