这首歌《Leaving》描绘了一段即将结束的感情，歌词中充满了对伴侣离去的不舍与无奈。
“Watching the clock on the wall Been a while since you called”这里描述了等待的焦虑感，看着墙上的时钟，已经很久没有接到对方的电话了。这种长时间的沉默预示着关系可能出现问题。
当对方走进来时，“Tears in your eyes Pretending like it's alright”，虽然眼睛里含着泪水，却还在假装一切正常。这里的细节表明对方已经有了决定，而这个决定将对两人关系产生重大影响。
“But I know you're leaving I know that smile I can tell you've been crying You're gonna say goodbye”，这几句直接点明主题，即对方即将离开。“I wish I could stop you But you've made up your mind”，表达了主人公试图挽留但又意识到对方心意已决的无力感。
“Where does the time go Between goodbye and hello How did we come to this Is there something we missed along the way”，这里是对过往关系的反思，疑问时间去哪儿了，从最初的相遇到最后的分别，是否在过程中错过了什么重要的东西。
最后重复强调“I know you're leaving”，不断加深离别的氛围，同时“Here come the sleepless nights Here come the tears I'm gonna cry”则进一步展现了主人公面对失去后的痛苦和失眠的夜晚。
