Leaving Toronto

I’m leaving Toronto

It has nothing left to give me, I held it all, oh

There’s nowhere I can go

I drove 5 hours to cry in Montreal

This time I’ll learn to be alone

I’ll keep my fear of you leaving inside my drawers

I forget myself in your arms

If we’re burning this city tell me where to start

I’m leaving the things that I said, last of my friends

Help me shut my eyes, oh, I still haven’t slept

I’ll come back running to the past

Running till I pass through you

All that we’re running through the tap

Running through our hands, this bruise

What is on your face?

If I lose this case I will

See you in the day, tomorrow today, still

I’m leaving Toronto

I would drown this whole city if I could

There’s nowhere I can go

That has enough room to let me bring my hood

Oh, when you told me I could have you

Did you mean all of you?

And your little sisters growing big

And I’ve been the same since before she lived

Running to the past

Running til I pass through you

All that we’re running through the tap

Running through our hands, this bruise

What is on your face?

If I lose this case, I will

See you in the day, tomorrow today, still

I’m leaving Toronto

If it ever lets me go

And if they ever kill me

Make sure they bury me next to my brother

Make sure my killer has money for a lawyer

And if they ever kill me

Ask Allah to put light in my grave

Ask Allah to take the good of my old days

Make sure my killer has money for a lawyer
