The Guy Who Leaves lyrics

Get up, don't get up

I beg you to sit tight

Sweet girl, I'll be a ghost, girl

Forget it, I am fine

If anything, a witnessing

Is all I needed that night

Until I get what I'm to get

He'll keep being compelled to flee

Until I out his false story

He'll keep playing the guy who leaves

Brother, oh, brother

Solo you did bust out

All I knew was you didn't invite me

So begin seeds of self-doubt

There is nothing as harrowing

As how I translate facts

Until I get what I'm to get

He'll keep being compelled to flee

Until I out his false story

He'll keep playing the guy who leaves

Baby, oh, partner

How well you've played this part

Similar, oh, how familiar

Reluctant truth you impart

And how you served necessity

Repeat 'til she sees light

Until I get what I'm to get

He'll keep being compelled to flee

Until I out his false story

I'll keep blaming the guy who leaves
