Story Behind the Song
This one struck me as I thought of a relationship ending and the two involved closing up the apartment and hopping on trains going in opposite directions.

You Say You’re Leaving – © Mike Zaneski 1998
1st Verse:
You say you’re leaving. Save some room on the train for me.
I ain’t teasin’. Your destination is no mystery.
Take a look around. This house is falling down.
We go down, down, down, down ,down.
2nd Verse:
Smoke your cigarette. The smoke trails from your lips.
You gave up years ago. I became a habit that you quit.
The rain falls from the sky. I’m a simple guy.
Who goes down, down, down, down, down.
Chorus:
I remember now when we first met
You lied about your name, your age, the make of your dress
You told it was Gucci I was unimpressed
Now we’re stuck here in this mess
2nd Verse:
Look around this house. The walls to this day remain bare.
You took the spirit out. I believe that you just don’t care.
What I meant to say. Didn’t matter anyway
We go down, down, down, down, down. I remember those better days.
Chorus
Solo
Bridge
Now I’m talking and it falls on deaf ears
You’re a million miles away with not a sigh or a tear
No lying, no crying just a void with a view
We can’t even make up one excuse
3rd Verse
I’ve got a friend I know. She lives down in Washington.
I never called her once. Now I think that I’ll look her up.
Don’t tell me where you go. Don’t call me at night.
We’re not in love at all. When you leave, turn off the light.
We’re not in love at all. Lock the door, you’ll be all right.
We’re not in love at all. No we’re not in love.
