If You Ever Leave Somebody
[Verse 1]
The moment I said it to you
You looked like you'd seen a ghost
The memory of me
I'm not who I was before
Maybe I'm worse I don't know
With edges that cut and a heart that gave up easily
Is that who I am these days?
You looked at me and you said

[Chorus]
If you ever leave somebody
Pray to God you're right, don't leave in the night
Cry like you mean it, don't cry like a coward
Don't lie for hours, and say what it is

If you ever leave somebody don't do it like this
Don't do it like this, don't do it like this
Don't do it like this, pray to God you're right

Don't do it like this, don't do it like this
Don't do it like this, and pray to God you're right
Get out of my life

[Verse 2]
Came home and looked like a liar
Breath like cinder and ash
From burning you straight to the ground
And I packed my boxes quickly
Left you inside of these walls
For you to pick up the mess
[Chorus]
If you ever leave somebody
Don't do it like this, don't do it like this
Don't do it like this, don't do it like this
Don't do it like this, don't do it like this

Don't do it like this, don't do it like this
Don't do it like this but I did my best
Don't do it like this, don't do it like this
Don't do it like this, but I did my best
