Leaving Carolina

Leaving Carolina
-February 19, 2008
 San Jose, California

I've packed a bag
It's laying by the door
I stayed as long as I could
I couldn't do any more

You can hear my heartbeat
Hear it stutter as it breaks
Your words are the right ones
But your heart only takes

I'm leaving Carolina
It's time to slip away
I'm leaving Carolina
I can't stay

I'm lying here beside you
Your body pressed to mine
You kissed me goodnight
With your lips of bitter wine

You've told me that you love me
Your eyes tell me your lying
You've told me a hundred times
But I am through with crying

I'm leaving Carolina
It's time to slip away
I'm leaving Carolina
I can't stay

You're honey sweet to me
and I'm in love with you
You tell me you're constant
and you tell me that you're true

So soft and gentle are your lies
They've spun me time again
Like the soft silk of a spider
Like the wash of gentle rain

I'm leaving Carolina
It's time to slip away
I'm leaving Carolina
I can't stay

I'm leaving Carolina
It's time to slip away
I'm leaving Carolina
I can't stay...
