Look at me leaving

Look at me leaving lyrics

Verse 1

I did my eyeliner on the night bus
Wings sharp enough to be an offence
Went to your gig just to get clocked
Stood by the bar like I owned the stage
You looked straight through me. Top marks
Wearing your band shirt like a dare
Glitter in the collar, stale beer on the sleeve
You wanted a poster, not a person

Pre-Chorus

So go on, then
Flinch when the spotlight lands
I'll be the one you can't unsee

Chorus

Look at me leaving, look at me leave
Mascara's running and I'm still a sight
Look at me leaving, look at me leave
Misfits at the back, sing it louder
Look at me leaving, look at me leave

Verse 2

You never once took me to your mum's
Said I was too much for Sunday lunch
But you loved me loud in a back-room mirror
Daylight, you'd cross the road to dodge me
I replayed your old voicemail on the fire escape
Twenty times, just to hear you lie
Now I'm a headline on a bathroom wall
Spelled my name wrong, still looks good

Pre-Chorus

So go on, then
Flinch when the spotlight lands
I'll be the one you can't unsee

Chorus

Look at me leaving, look at me leave
Mascara's running and I'm still a sight
Look at me leaving, look at me leave
Misfits at the back, sing it louder
Look at me leaving, look at me leave

Bridge

Truth is, I'd bin the lot
Lashes, leather, every last sequin
Just hold my hand at the bus stop
But you won't
So watch me

Chorus

Look at me leaving, look at me leave
Mascara's running and I'm still a sight
Look at me leaving, look at me leave
Misfits at the back, sing it louder
Look at me leaving, look at me leave

Outro

Go on, look
Go on, you coward
