Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Laying in the afterglow
I only wanna learn what you know
But now you're leaving
How many hearts must you break?
But how many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving
[PreChorus]
In this world
All that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much
[Chorus]
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
[Chorus]
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
Ooh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
[Verse 2]
I only wanna make things last
So how could this have gone so fast?
And now you're leaving
How many times must I learn?
It's only when you've gone that I burn
And now you're leaving
[PreChorus]
In the end
All that is left has come unbearable
It's hard to change your mind
So leave it all behind
[Chorus]
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
[Chorus]
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
[Bridge]
Laying in the afterglow
I only wanna learn what you know
Ooh, but now you're leaving
How many hearts must you break?
How many calls must I make?
But now you're leaving
[PreChorus]
In this world
All that I choose has come unbearable
But love is in your touch
Ooh, it's killing me so much
[Chorus]
Only when you leave
I need to love you
And when the action has all gone
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
[Chorus]
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
[Chorus]
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
Oh, I'll make sure that you pay
So give a little passion to a stranger
And take this soul away
[Outro]
I'm just a little fool enough to need you
Fool enough too long
Only when you leave
You'll leave in danger
