Story behind the song
I looked around and realized just how many people are going "through the motions" and merely existing and not living. How many people are stuck in a cycle they want to get out of but feel they can't....but the door is always there if they look for it
Lyrics
IF YOU’RE GONNA LEAVE
(c)(p) Written & produced by Leila & Bobbi “Funkeeboy" Tammaro
* Recorded by Leila (Backgrounds by LOMON & Leila)
(Verse)
He doesn’t notice her
or take the time
he ignores her tears
and doesn’t hold her close at night
she has no warm hellos
or sad good-byes
going through the motions
with a baby he denies
(Chorus)
If you’re gonna leave
hold your head high
take control
you can make it on your own
if you’re gonna leave look deep inside
and you’ll know
you were meant to make it
(Verse)
Across the city working 9-5
giving up on dreams he dreamt
when he was just a child
no one believed in him
he lost his way
but inside he knows
he’ll find the strength
to fly one day
(Repeat chorus)
(Bridge)
This time is your time to let go
spread your wings rise higher
this time is your time
search your soul
and you’ll know
