Say 'leave'
If that's what you want from me
And I'll pack my bags and go
Drive out past the county lines
And you'll sleep alone
No hard questions from my soft lips
The ones you swore to me you'd kill to kiss
If you're asking to end this
Then please say 'leave'
Mmm...
You walked into a party, still had smoke in your mouth
The light was dancing on you like a fire broke out
I was silent in the corner like a funeral mourner
Watching everything I'd ever been without you fall away
Fall away.
It was a desperate drug, I could never get enough
There was something I could touch in you
That touched in me a person who I wanted to uncover
You were more than just a lover
You were infinite, and so was I
And so were we, or so I believed
Mmm...
Turned us both to stone, 45 feet thick
You're amazing, my medusa, you're a magic trick
I turned the other cheek a few too many times
My angel, my medusa, give me one more smile, and then please.
I won't plead my case to change your mind, no use for that now
I'll fade into the background so someday you can say how
Undeniable the end became, how we both could see it coming
But the truth is much more cruel, if I'd have seen it, I'd be running to you.
Wrapped you in my arms, built a castle made of armor
Hide us both away, I'd have done anything to save us
Burn cities to the ground to keep that vicious word out of your mouth
But here I am, my blinding love and me.
Turned us both to stone, 45 feet thick
You're amazing, my medusa, you're a magic trick
I turned the other cheek a few too many times
My angel, my medusa, give me one more smile
And then please say it to me.
Say 'leave'
If that's what you want from me
And I'll have to give you that
I'll drive out past the county lines, and I won't look back
And these wounds are gonna heal
And some mystery will be revealed
But I'll never be the same 'cause of a love that didn't stay
To which I'd never have been the one to say 'leave'.
