Chrisette Michele - Epiphany (I'm Leaving) Lyrics

Send this Ringtone to your Cell

And then it comes to me like an epiphany

It's over
It's over

[Verse 1]
Second night in a row
You didn't come home
I'm watching my phone
Waiting for it to ring

Sitting in the house on the couch with the TV on
All night all alone
Every time same old thing

[Chorus]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No I wonder what you've been doing
Where you been sleeping
(It's over)
I'm leaving
I'm leaving

[Verse 2]
So you walk in
The next morning
To find me smiling,
Like nothing ever happened

You give me some excuse
Like you always do
I just kiss your cheek
And this is what I tell you (you, you)

[Chorus]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No I wonder what you've been doing
Where you been sleeping
(It's over)
I'm leaving
I'm leaving

[Bridge]
How many times did I fall for your lies
How many times did I sit home and cry
Never questioning why? why? why? why?
It just came to me
Like an epiphany
How about if I just leave-e-e-e

[Chorus]
So I think I'm just about over being your girlfriend
I'm leaving, I'm leaving
No I wonder what you've been doing
Where you been sleeping
(It's over)
I'm leaving
I'm leaving

Send this Ringtone to your Cell

Song details

"Epiphany" is the first single from American soul-R&B singer-songwriter Chrisette Michele's sophomore studio album, Epiphany, released for airplay on January 27, 2009. It was a R&B top 20 hit and became her most successful single to date. It also marks her first solo entry on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, where it peaked at #89.

"I heard the song that Ne-Yo had written titled "Epiphany", and the word just stood out to me," Michele tells Billboard.com. "It stood out to me because I'd been through a lot in my last relationship, and the word 'epiphany' exemplified exactly what happened in the end when I realized I didn't have to put myself through it anymore." Michele refers to the relationship with her former manager, Douglas "Biggs" Ellison, who Michele sued for embezzlement and harassment last year.
