Leaving Girl

Time and time again she sings the same sad song

Time and time again he’s never wrong

He’s just under a lot of stress

“Too busy” she says

You just have to be there

You don’t understand

‘Cause he wants me when he’s drunk and calls me when he’s lonely

He loves me when it’s just us

Should see the way he holds me

I know he may not show it

Guess he built up a wall but he loves me

You should be leaving girl

For the seventh time he left her home again

Tomorrow will be the eighth he walks back in

I ask where this is going

She scoffs and she laughs

Yeah he may have a temper, but he always comes back

‘Cause he wants me when he’s drunk and calls me when he’s lonely

He loves me when it’s just us

Should see the way he holds me

I know he may not show it

Guess he built up a wall but he loves me

Oh he loves me

Naive girl, believing girl

You should be leaving girl

He laid his hand down

She fell to the floor

And one more time he said that I’m sorry ‘cause

It’s worked for him before

And she said

I don’t want you when you’re drunk

Don’t call me when you’re lonely

‘Cause now there’s no longer “us”

I’m taking back my dignity

And I finally understand

What everyone’s been saying

No more naive girl

No believing girl

Yeah she’s just leaving girl

Leaving girl
