I Watched You Leave

Originally Written and Completed: June 23rd, 2022

Genre: Dream Pop with minor snyths

A/N: I was inspired to write this song because of Taylor Swift's 'This Love' bridge! The re-recorded version had been out for a month because of TSITP and 'This Love' was stuck in my mind because of how much I listened to 'This Love' after Taylor re-released it. I was initially very proud of this song, but at the time it felt so out of place in Sweet Misery because I was still going for a different vibe in June for that songbook.

I think after that one unpublished, unreleased chapter in my drafts that I wrote for my book Haunted, in which I used 'This Love' for the basis of that chapter, so my mind is like gAY sOnG because of the context in which I used the song for in that chapter. Ofc it's not actually a gay song, Taylor is straight, but ahaha my mind still associates 'This Love' with gayness-

Oh yeah, btw, this song has 4 verses, so enjoy!

INTRO/CHORUS:

i watched you leave

you left me to bleed

right on two knees

why would you do that to me?

you fell right into his arms

along with that, you broke my heart

i watched you leave

and it tore me apart

1ST VERSE:

summer days and fourth of july

soon fluxed into late, winter nights

when i'd lay wide awake

as the thought of you was the only thought in my mind

at first, i didn't think it'd lead to much

i was wrong, it did

a little more than enough, if i dare convey to say

you filled right in my empty void

and after that, nothing would ever be the same

CHORUS:

i watched you leave

you left me to bleed

right on two knees

why would you do that to me?

you fell right into his arms

along with that, you broke my heart

i watched you leave

and it tore me apart

2ND VERSE:

so i went, madly in love then

but you, you never knew it

and never will, as long as i live

secrets and sins, all bottled in

tormented in my worst intentions to forget

i lost it all in my head

as the thought of you continued to creep in

CHORUS:

i watched you leave

you left me to bleed

right on two knees

why would you do that to me?

you fell right into his arms

along with that, you broke my heart

i watched you leave

and it tore me apart

3RD VERSE:

it was madness indeed

out of all the people i knew

you soon became my priority

little did i know, it was all time wasted

i wasn't in your mind like i wish i was

i was wrong, ofcourse i was

it was just a stupid crush

you loved someone better

someone who could never be me

oh, never in a million years

unless fate decided to interfere

though i doubt that

cause you are who you are

and so i wished upon a star

as i watched you leave me

CHORUS:

i watched you leave

you left me to bleed

right on two knees

why would you do that to me?

you fell right into his arms

along with that, you broke my heart

i watched you leave

and it tore me apart

BRIDGE:

a stupid crush indeed

i'm over it, way past it

oh, but how could i forget?

you ran to him instead of me

and it hurts like hell

it makes me want to bawl my eyes out

but i got to grow up now

a stupid crush that'll never be

you should've never been my priority

in the end, i watched you leave

4TH VERSE:

yeah, you left me . . .

stranded, but it's no paradise

cause this time, i don't know if i'll ever love again

or if anyone will ever love me back

cause it seems as no matter who i fall for

they never feel the same like i do

a concussion of a breakthrough

moments when i knew i loved you

and planned to tell you

someday . . . never

now i know, it would've ended in disaster

i loved you

i loved you

i loved you

I LOVED YOU.

OUTRO:

oh, i loved you.

and i watched you leave.
