Jessica Simpson’s ‘Leave’ Lyrics: Scathing New Song Hints at Cheating Ex [Listen]
Jessica Simpson just released her "most vulnerable" song yet, "Leave."
The pop-turned-country singer dropped the breakup anthem on March 7 (Friday), leaving people to assume she's alluding to her divorce from former athlete Eric Johnson.
"I urge everyone to allow yourselves to be empowered by heartbreak, to never stay quiet with your needs and to always know that love should demand respect," she wrote on Instagram in teasing the new tune.
The emotional song — off her upcoming EP Nashville Canyon: Part 1 — suggests that Johnson may have been unfaithful, as she sings about the need to escape an "unholy matrimony."
In January, the shoe designer announced she and Johnson were calling it quits.

The former flames tied the knot in 2014 and share three kids: Daughters Maxwell, 12, and Birdie, 5, and son Ace, 11.
Jessica Simpson's "Leave" Lyrics (via Genius):
What we had was magic, now you made it tragic
Giving her what you gave to me
Now the well that you drink from's empty
Your weakness made me lonely, unholy matrimony
Did you do to her what you did to me? Was she on her knees?
Oh, she's everything but me
Oh, I, I want you to leave
I don't even wanna breath the air you breath
Oh, I, I'd rather die
Than let you be inside me with her on your mind
I am stronger on my own
So hold on, I'm letting you go
How'd this even happen? I can just imagine
I wanna know, then again, I don't
Should gеt you off, dressing up in my clothes
Don't say you love mе, don't even try to touch me
If you were me, you'd fall to pieces
I make a heartbreak look damn easy
Oh, I, I want you to leave
I don't even wanna breath the air you breath
Oh, I, I'd rather die
Than let you be inside me with her on your mind
I am stronger on my own
So hold on, I'm letting you go
Oh, I, I want you to leave
I don't even wanna breath the air you breath
Oh, I, I'd rather die
Than let you be inside me with her on your mind
I am stronger on my own
So hold on, I'm letting you go
