"Love The Ones Who Leave" lyrics

"Love The Ones Who Leave"

It's sadistic, masochistic
Oh, I do it to myself
Guess I'm addicted, I predicted
That you'd break me, I could tell
By the color of your lipstick
By the way your perfume smelled
By the way you'd say my name
I knew one day you'd say farewell

But I fell for you even though I knew
It would ruin me completely
Wish it wasn't true but that's what I do
I love the ones who leave me

Love the ones who leave me, the ones who walk away
The ones who didn't need me, never loved me anyway
I love the ones who leave me, the ones who never cared
The ones who deceive me
I love the ones, I love the ones
Love the ones who leave me (Ah)

Fatalistic, the statistics told me I'd do it again
Like addiction, my prediction was you'd break me, knew it then
By the color of your lipstick, by the messages you'd sent
By the way you'd say my name
I knew one day you'd say the end

But I fell for you even though I knew
It would ruin me completely
Wish it wasn't true but that's what I do
I love the ones who leave me

Love the ones who leave me, the ones who walk away
The ones who didn't need me, never loved me anyway
I love the ones who leave me, the ones who never cared
The ones who deceive me
I love the ones, I love the ones
Love the ones who leave me (Ah)

Like a moth drawn to a flame
I can't seem to stay away
Only have myself to blame
Wish I'd loved the ones who stay, na-na
Wish I'd loved the ones who stay, na-na
But I love the ones who leave me

Like a moth drawn to a flame
I can't seem to stay away
Only have myself to blame
Wish I'd loved the ones who stay, na-na
I wish I'd loved the ones who stay, na-na
I love the ones who leave me
