Why you gotta leave

When I’ve been needing someone else

Why you gotta leave

When I don’t even have myself

Why you gotta leave

When I’ve been hurting again

Waters getting deep

Without a sign of a hand

I know it’s clinical

Hearing the dial tone

Sit by the phone if it’s you really there

My hearts in pending mode

Signalling overflow

Pretend you’re voice is on the other end

Why you gotta leave

When I’ve been needing someone else

Why you gotta leave

When I don’t even have myself

Call a referee

I’m cutting corners again

Running with the breeze

Or with my head in the sand

Don’t know where I’m gon’ go

Steppin into the flow

Hoping the months will start to fade away

Gotta open my eyes

Holding my breath despite

I ran out of oppositions to make you stay

Why you gotta leave

When I’ve been needing someone else

Why you gotta leave

When I don’t even have myself

When I needed someone else

When I needed someone else

When I needed someone else

When I needed someone else

Why you gotta leave

When I’ve been needing someone else

Why you gotta leave

When I don’t even have myself
