Ryan Adams - Why Do They Leave? Lyrics

Ryan Adams Lyrics

"Why Do They Leave?"

Oh, why do they leave?
Oh, why do they leave?
On the day that you needed them the most

Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me
Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me
Lover, why do you leave?
Lover, why do you leave?
On the day I want you for me?

Say, say it ain't so
That he will take you tomorrow
And I will sit here today the worst

Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, no flowers for me
Simple cards and things
Rose-colored sunsets, curtains for me
Lover, why do you leave?
Lover, why do you leave?
On the day I want you to be the one?
