Here is a one take rough acoustic demo of a song inspired by lyrics penned by my good mate @leakyplusme2.
It beautifully captures the absolute pain of unrequited love. Been there many times myself...
When You Go Away
V1
Here I sit with head in hand
You left with him again
I know he does not love you
So do you my friend
V2
Why do i feel like a blight
You don’t know how I feel
I am so mixed up tonight
There’s no way I can heal
Chorus
When you go away
My hearts displayed
Nobody knows but me
Why can’t I move on
You go and I bleed
The light that’s never shone
V3
Last time we met I didn’t care
You still don’t know do you
I do not want to share
I have moved on but
Chorus
When you go away
My hearts displayed
Nobody knows but me
Why can’t I move on
You go and I bleed
The light that never shone

Then do what? Lol! @leakyplusme2
Title caught my attention cuz my first solo as a vocalist in high school was “If You Go Away.”
Love the poignant vocals for beautiful lyrics. Nice guitar work!

Really lovely. The live take really gives a rawness to the lyrics. Needs a smokey room.

The lyrics have a perfect flow to themselves and I really like the rhyme-combinations. "You go and I bleed / The light that never shone" are so powerful lines! The musical take on these fantastic lyrics is amazing in the same way... You captured the feel of the words in a wonderful way, awesome melody and such a suiting vocal delivery!

A beautiful treatment of the lyrics, a heartbreaker of a singer-songwriter song!
