Leaving by Three

Intro

Yeah

It's 2 AM again

You know how this goes

I shouldn't be calling, but...

Hook

You only miss me when the city's quiet,

When your friends go home and you can't hide it,

You say you're done, but you never mean it,

Every time I leave, somehow you pull me back in.

I got money, got cars, got places to be,

But none of that means much when you're next to me,

We could turn the whole night into memories,

Just don't tell me you love me if you're leaving by three.

Verse 1

I seen your name light up my phone again,

Told myself I wouldn't answer, then I folded in,

Funny how the people that can hurt you most

Are the same ones you would probably die for in the end.

You know my flaws, I know yours too,

That's probably why it's hard for me to lie to you,

I been out with other girls, but it ain't the same,

They know the public version, you know my private pain.

I don't need another argument tonight,

I just wanna hear you say that everything's alright,

You tell me I'm different, I tell you that you're right,

We keep running from the truth while we're staring in its eyes.

Hook

You only miss me when the city's quiet,

When your friends go home and you can't hide it,

You say you're done, but you never mean it,

Every time I leave, somehow you pull me back in.

I got money, got cars, got places to be,

But none of that means much when you're next to me,

We could turn the whole night into memories,

Just don't tell me you love me if you're leaving by three.

Verse 2

I don't wanna post it, I don't need the attention,

Some things hit different when they're kept out the mentions,

Everybody got opinions, everybody got questions,

Nobody knows the nights we had behind closed doors.

Maybe we're toxic, maybe we're young,

Maybe we just don't know what we've become,

You say I'm too distant, I say you're too much,

But somehow every argument ends with us.

So pour another drink, let the record play,

Forget about tomorrow, we can deal with it later,

If this is our last night, let me make it worth it,

'Cause losing you is one thing I don't think I'm built for.

Outro

It's 4 AM now...

And you're still here.

Maybe that's the answer.

Maybe that's all I needed to know.
