"I Always Say I'm Leaving" lyrics
If you think I wanna date you then you're out of your mind
Then again, I don't know, you're probably right
'Cause I'm tryna find the answers
I've been looking for a sign
Like when you try to call me right at 5:55
I was starting not to miss you but now I'm kinda bored
Do I like how you're winning and wanna even the score?
Do I like how we're nothing?
Or do I want something more?
Can we ever go back to how we were before?
I always say I'm leaving
Every time I try to go
I never really mean it
And now I'm taking off my clothes
I always say I'm leaving
We both know that I won't
And nobody believes it
The door is never closed
Are we stuck inside this cycle
Round and round til' we're dead?
Are our souls tied together, or are we fucked in the head?
'Cause as soon as I forget you, you're back in my bed
But every time that we start it, I know that it's gonna end
We can't seem to get it right, so should I just let it go?
Should I find someone else?
And never pick up the phone?
'Cause as soon as we're in it
As soon as you feel like home
We just go back to the basics
Then back to being alone
I always say I'm leaving
Every time I try to go
I never really mean it
And now I'm taking off my clothes
I always say I'm leaving
We both know that I won't
And nobody believes it
The door is never closed
I'm kinda over it
And then I hear your voice
I think I'm over it
And then I see your face
I swear I'm over it
And then I smell your perfume
I'm really over it
I'm never over it
I'm kinda over it
And then I hear your voice
I think I'm over it
And then I see your face
I swear I'm over it
And then I smell your perfume
I'm really over it
I'm never over it
No, I swear I'm actually done this time
And we're not talking anymore
Like, are you sure?
Yes! I know I always say that but—
You say that every time
I know, but I swear I mean it
You promise?
No (laugher)
I always say I'm leaving
Every time I try to go
I never really mean it
And now I'm taking off my clothes
I always say I'm leaving
We both know that I won't
And nobody believes it
The door is never closed
Then again, I don't know, you're probably right
'Cause I'm tryna find the answers
I've been looking for a sign
Like when you try to call me right at 5:55
I was starting not to miss you but now I'm kinda bored
Do I like how you're winning and wanna even the score?
Do I like how we're nothing?
Or do I want something more?
Can we ever go back to how we were before?
I always say I'm leaving
Every time I try to go
I never really mean it
And now I'm taking off my clothes
I always say I'm leaving
We both know that I won't
And nobody believes it
The door is never closed
Are we stuck inside this cycle
Round and round til' we're dead?
Are our souls tied together, or are we fucked in the head?
'Cause as soon as I forget you, you're back in my bed
But every time that we start it, I know that it's gonna end
We can't seem to get it right, so should I just let it go?
Should I find someone else?
And never pick up the phone?
'Cause as soon as we're in it
As soon as you feel like home
We just go back to the basics
Then back to being alone
I always say I'm leaving
Every time I try to go
I never really mean it
And now I'm taking off my clothes
I always say I'm leaving
We both know that I won't
And nobody believes it
The door is never closed
I'm kinda over it
And then I hear your voice
I think I'm over it
And then I see your face
I swear I'm over it
And then I smell your perfume
I'm really over it
I'm never over it
I'm kinda over it
And then I hear your voice
I think I'm over it
And then I see your face
I swear I'm over it
And then I smell your perfume

I'm never over it

And now I'm taking off my clothes
I always say I'm leaving
We both know that I won't
And nobody believes it
The door is never closed
