Alexandre Desplat - Edward Leaves Lyrics

If I stayed with you
I would live a lie
For you deserve a love
This heart cannot provide
So I’ll wish you well
And be on my way

I’m not the one who could give you what you need
So I’ll bid you farewell but don’t you dare watch me leave

I didn’t mean to
Hurt you this way
But I’m not what you need
So I guess
I’ll just be on my way
One day you’ll wake up
And thank me for what I did
When you’re living your happy life
Behind your white fence, new husband and kids

Like a captured bird
Who yearns to sail the sky
I will unlock your cage now
So prepare to fly
And I’ll kiss the air
And hope it finds you well
Goodbye

I’m not the one who could give you what you need
So I’ll bid you farewell but don’t you dare watch me leave

I didn’t meant to
Hurt you this way
But I’m not what you need
So I guess
I’ll just be on my way
One day you’ll wake up
And thank me for what I did
When you’re living your happy life
Behind your white fence, new husband and kids

I didn’t meant to
Hurt you this way
But I’m not what you need
So I guess
I’ll just be on my way
One day you’ll wake up
And thank me for what I did
When you’re living your happy life
Behind your white fence, new husband and kids

So, I’ll kiss the air
And hope it finds you well
Goodbye
