“If I Leave” Lyrics [4]
Song by Mitski:
Chorus
If I leave, somebody else will love you
But nobody else could forgive me
Quite as often as youVerse 1
No one on this street knows
No one in this mall knows
No one in this bar knows
And none of my friends know
Surely, none of my colleagues
Nor do my familyChorus
If I leave, somebody else will find you
But nobody else could see me
Quite as clearly as you (You, you)
Only you know, I’ve let only you knowBridge
How I ride through a tunnel
And it’s dark the whole way
I ride through a tunnel
It’s been dark the whole way
I ride through a tunnel
It’s still dark the whole wayVerse 2
I couldn’t lose you
How could I lose you?
I couldn’t lose youChorus
For if I lost it, somebody else will cheer you
But who else could love me
Quite as kindly as you?
Who could love me
Quite as kindly as you?Outro
You?
