Cuddy, Jim - You Be The Leaver Lyrics
I saw your note
Your missing coat
I didn't understand completely
Then later on
Crying on the phone
Took my breath away
You know I can't pretend
That it couldn't end
But it was never on my mind
So you be the leaver
And I'll be the left behind
I won your heart
But from the start
Then day by day
I watched you fade
Til we were hardly seen together
I can't explain
Oh well I guess I knew
As the shadows grew
But there was always so much time
So you be the leaver
And I'll be the left behind
Oh it's not much more than I've felt before
And I'm fine out on my own
But it's strange to find when I look in your eyes
No one I had known
I hear your name
Know where you been
I don't know how I feel about it
But comfort comes when friends bring love
You know I wrap my arms around them
You made it so
Oh can you tell me true
No matter what I'd do
Did you always know the time
When you'd be the leaver
And I'd be the left behind
Oh you'd be the leaver
And I'd be the left behind

Cuddy, Jim You Be The Leaver Comments
What a beautiful song. Thank you Jim Cuddy
be carefull youtube comments no comment x the children are listening
It's beyond weird how Jim seems to narrate my life with his songs and has for so many years... then again I'm sure that's just a reflection of how down to earth and real he is. Such a beautiful song, now how do I get this lump out of my throat?
I've admired Jim Cuddy for a long time ,and I swear that he is the musical incarnate of my soul, or that somehow the things I felt in my heart had been expressed through the songs he wrote and performed. I've always felt a deep connection to his music and I think it takes a great deal of courage to pour your heart out like he does....., I certainly feel like he's a Canadian music Icon and massively underrated. I'm really grateful for the music over the years and so far I have to say this album is one of the best yet. Thanks Jim
I remember being in High school hearing Try for the first time- this band, this voice touches my soul

Lovely...thank you
I swear my ex boyfriend can play guitar like an angel , I fell out love with him and promised I would never show the video clips I have of him but sorry mouse I love you and I wish I can be your girlfriend again
Heard this on CBC Radio this afternoon. Searched it. I knew it had to be Jim. Great song!
Another heart-wrenchingly relatable song from a golden-voiced master - gently setting a broken heart to music.
you've done it again, Jim Cuddy
Jim proves that true talent ages like fine wine.
Jim Cuddy has the most beautiful voice. Saw them in Buffalo every time they were here. Too bad they didn't make it big in the U.S. Blue Rodeo is the best band ever. Another great song from a very talented artist.
Constellation concert in Ottawa was amazing. Jim you only get better with age!
Just saw Jim Cuddy at the Banff Centre last night,, first time I saw Blue Rodeo and Jim Cuddy the opening act was Sky Diggers this was back in mid 90's. He is by far my favorite performer and best of all he is Canadian.
another brilliant Jim Cuddy song - thank you
Goosebumps every time!
Once again, the soundtrack of life. Thank you Jim.
