lyrics

I may be older but you know that I look up to you
‘cause you got out, you got away, did what I couldn’t do
so now you’ve got this brand new life, no end to what you’ll be
I’m just the freak come ‘round again
no wonder you left me

‘Cause everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way the wind blows
Everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way my life goes
I’ll crack a joke and fake a smile
and roll up my sleeves
this life’s just a little bit harder when everybody leaves

I’ve got a secret I must keep, he’d hate me if he knew
our friends are dead, we’re on the run, don’t know what else to do
get in the car and drive away, we ain’t got time to grieve
‘cause Sam is feeling good so there’s no telling when he’ll leave

‘Cause everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way the wind blows
Everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way my life goes
Sometimes it feels like me and Death are as thick as thieves
sometimes he takes the best himself
but everybody leaves

Sometimes at night when I can’t sleep I see my mother’s face
my father died to save my life, should have gone in his place
then it was Ellen, Ash, and Jo, poor Adam’s still in Hell
Pam, Andy, Lisa, Ben, Rufus Turner, Castiel

‘Cause everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way the wind blows
Everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way my life goes
you can say I’m wrong, it ain’t my fault, for all the good it achieves
I let down everyone I love, so everybody leaves

‘Cause everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way the wind blows
Everybody leaves
that’s just the way, that’s just the way my life goes
so I’ll take a drink and grab my gun and roll down my sleeves
it’s autumn now, the air is cold
and everybody leaves
