Lyrics
Leave Me Like You Mean It
VERSE
We had another stupid little fight
I'll take the blame for lighting the fuse
'Cause it blew up like a stick of dynamite
And now I'm losing sleep over losing you
It's like I have a movie [that's] replaying in my head [Pre-Chorus]
That features every detail of that night when you left
CHORUS
You-- tapped the brake a couple of times
[then] You-- looked back through your teary eyes
You even left all your things behind
If too much has really come between us
Why can't you leave me like you mean it
VERSE
You answered your phone on the first ring
I thought you wouldn't pick it up at all
Let alone take the time to listen to me
But now you're telling me you don't want to talk
I just can't believe it's over and there's nothing I can do
'Cause your actions keep saying--you're not sure that's true
CHORUS
You-- tapped the brake a couple of times
[then] You-- looked back through your teary eyes
You even left all your things behind
If too much has really come between us
Why can't you leave me like you mean it
BRIDGE
I wish I could take back all those hurtful words of mine
And replace them with I love you and I'll love you for all time
I've got to work my way back into your conflicted heart
I hope the part that's on my side will show me where to start.
CHORUS
You-- tapped the brake a couple of times
[then] You-- looked back through your teary eyes
You even left all your things behind
If too much has really come between us
Why can't you leave me like you mean it
