Going Leaving Lyrics by Dwele

Greater Than One

2012

[Intro]
Nostalgic
'80s babies
True story
Come on

[Verse 1]
Look what you've done to me
I can't even keep in touch
I hate I just lost a very good friend
She could've been my one true love, yeah
Hey, she wanted more, but I wasn't ready
(Living my life. loving the fame)
Me keeping it real made her heart heavy
(I should have lied, stayed in the game)
And I can admit it, scared me when she said

[Bridge]
Where is this going?
I said I'm not ready
Ooh, she's leaving
Somethin' 'bout her clock ticking
And she wants children, oh

[Verse 2]
Look what you've done to me
You found you a brand new love
At least you call me every now and again
Ha, to playfully rub it in
But when I ask you are you happy
(There is a sigh, painfully yes)
But one year later, you got married
(I asked you why, you said you were pressed)
Now it hurts me when I hear you say

[Bridge]
You don't know where it's going (Yeah, yeah)
You're not ready
And you're leaving
Time is still ticking
But now you're expecting children

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]
Now she's single
And I'm seeing more of her
(I realize)
The more time we spend together
The more I miss her
(Who she was)
It's not the same
She's changed
Now she got a daughter
(I'm wondering)
What role she'll play in my life
(And me and hers, and I don't know)

[Outro]
Where this is going
Now I'm ready
As a friend no more leaving
Break the clock, no more ticking
I'll be there for your children
Be there to hold you
Help you pick up your pieces
Oh, can't let it all fall apart
Yeah... [scatting]
Fall apart
Catch your pieces
Fall apart
Restart
