The Leaving Song Pt. II Lyrics

Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away


[Bridge]
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all to die

I saw its birth, I watched it grow
I felt it change me
I took the life, I ate it slow
Now it consumes me

[Chorus]
Why?
Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away


Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Heart away

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
