The Guy Who Leaves

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 until she sees light
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
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
