If You Wanna Leave
Navigating Love's Crossroads: If You Wanna Leave by The Honest Heart Collective
Lyrics
I met you out in the valley
Introduction to a location where the meeting occurred.
Where young lovers go to find themselves
The place where young couples seek self-discovery.
I caught you there feeling scared
Noted the person's fearful and unprepared state.
And unaware, of how to love somebody else
Unfamiliar with loving another person.
Like the wolves that howl in the dead of the night
Comparing the person's cries to the howls of wolves in darkness.
I can hear you crying out for more
Expressing an understanding of the person's emotional need.
Believe me I understand
Acknowledging empathy and comprehension.
If you wanna leave well there’s the door
Suggesting the option to leave the relationship.
I’m sorry darling I can’t help you anymore
Regretful inability to provide further assistance.
It’s time you look after yourself
Encouraging self-care and independence.
Be strong, be sure
Urging strength and certainty.
So if you wanna leave well there’s the door
Reiteration of the option to depart.
Yeah yeah well there’s the door
Reaffirmation of the available exit.
You don’t have to go by yourself
Assurance of not being alone if departing.
No one makes it through this valley alone
Validation that everyone needs support in tough times.
See there’s scavengers up on the eastern ridge
Reference to others taking advantage or causing trouble.
And they’ll be hustlin’ all night long
Implying persistent disturbances or threats.
If you wanna leave well there’s the door
Reiteration of the choice to depart.
I’m sorry darling I can’t help you anymore
Apology for the inability to continue aiding.
It’s time you look after yourself
Encouraging self-responsibility.
Be strong, be sure
Emphasizing the need for personal strength and certainty.
So if you wanna leave well there’s the door
Repeating the option to leave.
Yeah yeah well there’s the door
Reiterating the presence of an exit.
I met you out in the valley
Recollection of the initial meeting place.
Where young lovers go to find themselves
Reiteration of the spot's significance.
If you wanna leave well there’s the door
Offering the choice to depart.
I’m sorry darling I can’t help you anymore
Regret for the inability to offer further assistance.
It’s time you look after yourself
Encouraging self-care and independence.
Be strong, be sure
Stressing the importance of personal strength.
So if you wanna leave well there’s the door
Repeating the option to leave.
Yeah if you wanna leave well there’s the door
Reiteration of the choice to depart.
I’m sorry darling I can’t help you anymore
Apology for the inability to continue aiding.
It’s time you look after yourself
Encouraging self-responsibility.
Be strong, be sure
Emphasizing the need for personal strength and certainty.
So if you wanna leave well there’s the door
Repeating the option to leave.
Yeah yeah well there’s the door
Reiterating the presence of an exit.
Yeah yeah well there’s the door
Final reiteration of the available exit.
