Level 42

(M. Lindup/P. Gould)
Tell me why are you leaving
When theres no place to go
Whats this secret youre keeping
You dont want me to know
Only lies need defending
Cos the truth stands by itself
Its time for honesty
I can see
Theres someone else
When the dawn breaks tomorrow
Will your whole life be changed
Are you sure all this sorrow
Wont just flood back again
Some strange dream youve been chasing
Its just another rainbows end
You wont find it there
Not anywhere
So why pretend
Tell me why are you leaving
All the things that you know
If its dreams you believe in
Just how far can you go
If you leave whats the answer
Perhaps some other sad affair
Wont you change your mind
Take some time
And Ill be there
[ Why Are You Leaving? Lyrics ]
