Lyrics

[Intro]
You only love me when I leave
You only love me when I leave
[Verse 1]
There must be something 'bout my tail lights
That makes it sink in
Must be something 'bout my goodbye
That gets you thinking
Hey, maybe there's still a chance
Nah, baby, you don't wanna dance
Till the room's on fire
Till it's down to the wire
[Chorus]
You only love me when I leave
You only miss me when I'm gone
You keep that heart under your sleeve
Till I'm rolling mine up, moving on
You wait till I don't want you
To tell me that you need me
You only love me, love me when I'm leavin'
[Verse 2]
Here come those "I'm so sorry" roses
Right on cue
Yeah, this old comeback record's broken
Feels like deja vu
Is it the back pocket of my jeans
That gets you saying, "Baby, please?"
Or the screen door slam
That makes you give a damn
[Chorus]
You only love me when I leave
You only miss me when I'm gone
You keep that heart under your sleeve
Till I'm rolling mine up, moving on
You wait till I don't want you
To tell me that you need me
You only love me, love me when I'm leavin'
Oh, love me when I'm leavin'
[Bridge]
You don't see the light till mine are halfway down the road
And if I'm being honest, there's a reason that I'm leaving so slow
[Chorus]
You only love me when I leave
You only miss me when I'm gone
You keep that heart under your sleeve
Till I throw your shit out on the lawn
You wait till I don't want you
To tell me that you need me
You only love me, love me when I'm leavin'
[Outro]
There must be something 'bout my tail lights
That makes it sink in
