First You Leave Lyrics by Olympia

Flamingo

2019

[Verse 1]
Been a while, we were in love
Won't forget, feeling of you leaving
Never really left
I was more than enough
Now hours fly by full of waiting
For the staying, there is no rest
[Chorus]
First you leave, then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know? (Ooh)
First you leave, then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know? (Ooh)
[Verse 2]
In the city through wet dark
Yeah, I heard, you're a star to somebody
No I'm not gonna beg
I can't shake it, I still hear
Your shadow humming, that is the cost of believing
Just come and run your hand down my legs
[Chorus]
First you leave, then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know? (Ooh)
First you leave, then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know? (Ooh)
[Bridge]
You tear up at the memories (You tear up at the memories)
No matter that it isn't real (No matter that it isn't real)
The bubbles in your blood are sinking
[Chorus]
First you leave, then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know? (Ooh)
First you leave, then you go
Who will you be?
How will I know? (Ooh)
