A Day to Remember – If I Leave

• 0
  My Opinion:This song for me is how me and my ex ended. We were together for 3 and a half years when she ended it.
  She said that we were drifting apart and it just wasn't the same anymore and it took me a few months but looking back I could see where she was coming from.
  
  The song could be about either a relationship or friendship where the two people just drifted and everything ended.

  General Comment:This is my favorite song from the album. Hits me right in the heart like so many other of their songs.
  Reminds me of a dear friend of mine that's leaving soon.

  General Comment:some of those are wrong, here are the 100% correct lyrics straight from the lyric booklet.
  
  
  Let's Go!
  
  In the beginning I was up front
  Nothing to think about, you’d always hear me out
  We made a pact and never gave up
  When everything would change, we always stayed the same
  Something went wrong along the way
  You come around and there’s nothing left to say
  It's like we’re strangers anyway, what more could you ask of me
  It’s been a long time coming, but everyones gonna hear me now
  
  If I leave, bet you’ll wish I’d stayed
  Make you regret all the things you said to me
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  If I leave this, if I leave this way.
  
  I’ve always been a man of action,
  Never let anything keep ahold of me
  Can always tell when somethings missing,
  Like I knew everything except for you and me
  I can't make you want to stay,
  God knows I've tried but this broke under our weight.
  I still gave it everything.
  I guess I'll never catch my break.
  
  If I leave, bet you’ll wish I’d stayed
  Make you regret all the things you said to me
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  If I leave, I'll still move away,
  And try to right all the wrongs we’ve ever made
  Won't let your problems weight me down
  If I leave this, if I leave this way.
  
  Never thought you’d be the last one standing
  Never thought that we would come this far
  You’ll always be there looking over my shoulder
  Come to terms with exactly what we are
  
  Never thought you’d be the last one standing
  Never thought that we would come this far
  You’ll always be there looking over my shoulder
  Come to terms with exactly what we are
  
  If I leave, bet you’ll wish I’d stayed
  Make you regret all the things you said to me
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  If I leave, I'll still move away,
  And try to right all the wrongs we’ve ever made
  Won't let your problems weight me down
  If I leave this, if I leave this way.
  
  Never thought you’d be the last one standing
  Never thought that we would come this far
  You’ll always be there looking over my shoulder
  If I leave this, if I leave this way.
  
  
  an amazing song to end an amazing album. i love it.

  My Interpretation:Sounds like a relationship that started strong but lost its flame as time went on from these lines
  "But something went wrong along the way
  You’d come around and there’s nothing left to say"
  
  Then the girl said she wanted to end it but never did from this line
  "I can’t make you want to stay, I tried but this broke under our weight"
  
  Basically the chorus is what the guy is saying but he realizes that even the time apart wouldn't repair
  their relationship.
  
  The song is basically him debating with himself with himself whether to end the relationship or not but in the end he ends it not her from this line
  "Never thought you’d be the last one standing"
  
  And he basically accepts what relationship he and the girl has now.
  From this line, i'm unsure about
  "You’ll always be there looking over my shoulder"
  whether the girl or both he and the girl have no hard feelings towards each other at how the relationship ended.

  Lyric Correction:Let's Go!
  
  In the beginning I was upfront
  Nothing to think about, you’d always hear me out

  When everything would change, we always stayed the same
  But something went wrong along the way

  It's like we’re strangers anyway, what more could you ask of me?
  It’s been a long time coming, but everyone’s gonna hear me now
  
  If I leave, bet you’ll wish I stayed
  Make you regret all the things you said to me
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  If I leave this, if I leave this way.
  
  I’ve always been a man of action,
  Never let anything keep a hold of me
  I can always tell when somethings missing,
  Like I know everything, except for you and me.
  I can’t make you want to stay, I tried but this broke under out weight
  I still gave it everything, I guess I never catch my break
  It’s been a long time coming, but everyone’s gonna hear me now
  
  If I leave, bet you’ll wish I’d stayed
  Make you regret all the things you said to me
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  You know that time can’t help us now,
  if I leave I should move away,
  and try to right all the wrongs we’ve ever made
  well let your problems weight me down
  If I leave this, if I leave this way.
  
  I never thought you’d be the last one standing
  I never thought that we would come this far
  You’ll always be there looking over my shoulder
  I’ve come to terms with exactly what we are

  Never thought that we would come this far
  You’ll always be there looking over my shoulder
  If I leave this, if I leave this way.
