Wilder wrote this song about her old school and how she never loved the place anyways, so it wasn’t hard to leave. But, it seems she had some lingering feelings and questions about her horrible experience there.
How to Leave a Place you Love
V1: You think they've got you but they really don't know
They don't know how it works when you low
Filling out questions yet you don't know the answer for
PreChorus:
And...I'll be leaving this all behind
And I know it's gonna be fine
*not as scary as I thought it'd be*
Chorus: Cuz I'm walking down the road with you
I tell you "I'll be leaving this place soon"
She says "Is it true you hate it here?"
I support you but if you need help.."
I say.."Honestly, this is so easy
No i don't need help on
How to leave a place you love"
V2: You don't seem dangerous to me
They don't know you they say
Still you try, and emotions show
And I'll be leaving this all behind
And I know it's gonna be fine
*not as scary as I thought it'd be*
~ Bridge ~
It's not frightening
Not a monumental decision
I have a problem, I've admitted
This plant I've grown destroyed my land
So I'll Uproot it and start with sand
