Leave
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It's amazing
how you make your face just like a wall,
how you take your heart and turn it off,
how I turn my head and lose it all
It's unnerving
how just one move puts me by myself
There you go just trustin' someone else
Now I know I put us both through hell
I'm not sayin'
there was nothin' wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
And I'm not sayin'
we ever had the right to hold on
I just didn't wanna let it get away from me
But if that's how it's gonna leave
straight out from underneath,
then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
you know you've been dependent on
the one you're leavin' now
the one you're leavin' out
It's aggrevating
how you threw me on
and you tore me out,
how your good intentions turned to doubt
the way you needed time to sort it out
And I'm not sayin'
there was nothin' wrong
I just didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
And I'm not sayin'
we ever had the right to hold on
I just couldn't ever let you get away from me
But if that's how you're gonna leave
straight out from underneath,
then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
you know you've been dependent on
the one you're leavin' now
the one you're leavin' out
the one you're leavin' now
now, no, no
the one you're leavin' out
I'm not sayin'
there was nothin' wrong
I didn't think you'd ever get tired of me
But if that's how you're gonna leave
straight out from underneath,
then we'll see who's sorry now
If that's how it's gonna stand, when
you know you've been dependent on
the one you're leavin' now, now
Hell, well tell me is that how it's going to end
when you know you've been dependent on
the one you're leavin' now
the one you're leavin' out
I'm the one you're leavin' now, now
the one you're leavin' out
