Leave, left, leaving
The verb "to leave," not the left from right-and-left. Not the leaves from trees.
If you have a song about going away that doesn't have the word "leave" in it, play it here: http://lyricsgame.blogspot.com/2008/02/going-away-songs.html

If you leave, don't look back
I'll be running the other way...

Left alone, all alone
Why has love passed her by?

Someone left the cake out in the rain
i don't think that I can take it...

Gonna leave me far behind
'Cause you found a brand new lover
You decided that I'm not your kind

Or hindsight
Leaving behind now every feeling inside

Up to you
You decide

But you left me all alone in love

Take the boat
Leave me here
Go now, don't wait!

Just stop doggin' me around

So before you go and turn me on
Be sure that you can turn me loose
'Cause I still got a lot of leavin' left to do

She's leaving home

living it
leaving it

Better get up and leave instead...

A worrisome thing

All to myself, alone.
Get you and keep you in my arms evermore,
Leave all your lovers weeping on the far away shore.

I have two. 1. When I think about cheating, I just think about you leaviing (Gretchen Wilson)
2.L.A. proved too much for the man,
So he's leavin' the life he's come to know,
He said he's goin' back to find
Ooh, what's left of his world,
The world he left behind
Not so long ago.
He's leaving,
On that midnight train to Georgia,
And he's goin' back
To a simpler place and time.
I'm leaving by night;
I'm leaving alone.
I'm leaving it lie;
When you 'waken I'll be gone.
--"From Me to You," Janis Ian
