AFI - The Leaving Song Lyrics

Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything
Or were you sent to save me?
I've thought too much, you won't find anything...
Worthy of redeeming

Yo he estado aqui muchas veces antes y regreso

To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Imperfect cry, and scream in ecstasy
So what befalls the flawless?
Look what I've built, it shines so beautifully
Now watch as it destroys me

Y regreso aqui otra vez y comienzo

To... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all behind, and never said goodbye
I left it all to die

I saw its birth, I watched it grow
I felt it change me
I took the life, I ate it slow
Now it consumes me

I... break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away

Break down, and cease all feeling
Burn now, what once was breathing
Reach out, and you may take my heart away
... Heart away

Aún escucho esto, por pasado y por presente. Grande AFI ❤

Madden 2004 brought me here

Such a hardcore song. Always loved this band & this was one of my most listened to albums of all time. 1:32 i'm genuinely impressed, Davey.

The most beautiful thing about AFI for me and why they're my favorite band from this era is that their lyrics are always abstract. It's as if they're releasing an emotional moment through song and lyric without actually telling you how to feel, each song is like looking at a painting.

The part at 1:44 where Davey brushes the hair from his face and starts singing again is the hottest thing he’s ever done

No Nobody touches no one...mosh pit? No, just kids dancing

the endings the best

So he sings just as gay as he talks. Disgusting.

Only Davey Havok can make speaking Spanish sound dark and ominous af

Man this took me back. 🖤

2019???

My son turned me onto them , many years ago and I am so glad he did...

Madden '04 introduced me to this awesome song and band.

The video gives off a Mr Bright side vibe but so much darker and heavier

Shame on AFI for creating the monster that is “hardcore dancing”.

Miss the time afi was @ hottopic in Hollywood and we walkd right past eachother💖👀💖

Easily the best song by Jade, dude made a single guitar sound like a lead and rhythm seamlessly

Hace añosss que no escucho esta canción

Justo en mi adolescencia!

I'm here again because I had a dream about me being in a poly relationship with Davey and some other girls...like the Bachelor or something. I was going to leave because I got upset about something and he came and found me and kissed me and asked me not to leave so I didn't lmao. What the fuck is wrong with me

Honestly this is one of the most beautifully written songs I've ever heard. I dunno, it maybe just to me. But every line to this song hits me deep. The guitar in this song is amazing too.....and of course there is Davey looking like a fking snack as always.

What's with the floater at 1:23?

i didn't realize how hot Davey is/was until watching these videos again. Some music sticks with you.

Thanks Trust

*My friends at school think I'm weird.. I have liked them for 3 years*

Last good AFI album. Everything up to and including this was them growing and developing their sound. Everything since has just been hardcore selling out trying to be a pop band trying to get on the radio.

Finally, found this song. Had it in my head for weeks.

"Oh hi mark"

Middle school/ high school days! Had a CD player and this was my favorite album!!

"Die,OH".

2:30 AM reliving my early teen years

Back when FUSE was worth watching.

...
un himno de por vida!

God his hair is so amazing💙👀💙still love him 2019!+

Didn't this video used to have a scene where the guy that got pulled out sprayed a can of tear gas? Wasn't that the reason why he got pulled out by those clerks wearing gas masks? Am I missing something here?

Awesome song though!

Here it is


10/1/19... Still rocking to AFI

Seriously, this will never get old... I’m 39!

The riff at the beginning reminds me of the band twilight - beyond light beginning riff

this album was one my favorite in the world in highschool. screaming loud with my best friends to these jams. nostalgia

Just a beautiful song.

Novak Djokovic on th drums.

Wish my hair looked that good...

CM Punks ROH Theme brought me here

Davey definately sucked quite a bit of cock in his time

I moved to California the very next day...

Great live

shout out to josh highland

Thank you Madden 2004 for this!

the kids don't dance like this anymore...

The crowd looking like an Antifa riot

Whats the name of this style of dance??? Looks like Capoeira

It’s called moshing It’s when people dance by pushing things and bumping into each other. It happens in most heavy metal concerts like slipknot or System of a Down.

@Erik De Sousa I mean the kicks

im so gay for davey

I was 11 when this shit came out haha

I kinda wanna see him again ☠️

Madden NFL 2004!

In my top 100 female vocalists!

Yo he estado aquí muchas veces antes y regreso !!

Don't waste your touch, you won't feel anything

He was the reason I wanted a lip ring

IM PLAYING THIS DURING THE APOCALYPSE 🔥🔥

Tommy Wiseu

Rey Macias ahahaha 😂😂

Woah memories.

Yo he estado aquí, muchas veces antes. Y regreso... ❤

I'll never forgot how much impact THIS album had on me at 14 years old when it came out. The guitar work alone was and still is incredible.

30 seconds to mars totally ripped off the outfits in this video in the kill......

This song brought through a crappy breakup. I always thought this song was about revenge by getting a better life then my ex.

What is with the kid being dragged out of the mosh pit by the dudes in masks? So fucking creepy.

2019 still listening to afi!!!

Im a spanish girl but this song literally became my anthem in High school. I love how deep the lyrics are and just how it moves my emotions.. Rock is definetly not for the faint of heart....Still <3 them...

That last scream...... omg😍😍

Anyone else reliving their teen years? *sigh*

I play this song leaving my family parties

What does the Spanish lyrics mean... If it even is Spanish or any other language

Davey looks so good with long curly hair and nowadays also with really short hair,he's really flawless with no effort. They are one of the best punk rock bands back on the 90s and forever

It seems Suga of BTS seems to be one of your biggest fans and me too,everytime I listen to you guys I really feel like your music is out of this world

Full on pitsmasher track

A great song to swat away invisible bees to.

AFI is what happens when punk rockers are actually good at their instruments. Love these guys.

Buena música 👌🏾

Pretty girl singer

Muito bom esse som!! vai toma no cu

Don't waste your touch

Whats the meaning of the "X" painted in Havok's hand?

The X used to be a common symbol for someone in the straight-edge movement. It was basically a sign that you didn't need drugs, alcohol or casual sex to have fun and be happy.

2019 perras

Gabriela Chang Maravi ayeeee

that guitar intro slays me everytime

I am a teenager. I alwase read comments about how you miss the 2000's.... i was born then hahah.... im defonatly born in the wrong generation. I really wish i knew people in school who likes afi

Who the fuck would down vote this..

Man, one of the bands I grew up on. I’m suddenly angry with my dad

And how many lives has your song taken?

Certainly I am the one, if you are mistaken.

Madden NFL 04! Back when Madden was good.

So what befalls the flawless?

Yeahhhhhhhhhhh
