[Verse 1]
It’s cold and it’s raining, midnight cars roll down the street
Street lights shine in the gutter and you’ve gone off to sleep
[Pre-Chorus]
I sit up smoking wipe the ashes off the bed
Think about what you told me and what I never said
[Chorus]
I won’t be leaving
I won’t be leaving, anymore
[Chorus]
I won’t be leaving
I won’t be leaving, anymore
[Bridge]
I see you sleeping our shoes on the floor
And it’s so easy to slip out the door
But if you were awake I swear I’d tell you
I’m not leaving, anymore
[Verse 2]
I hear sirens in the darkness tell sad stories in the night
Could’ve been me caught read handed, could’ve been me that lost the fight
[Pre-Chorus]
I get up smoking wipe the ashes off the bed
Think about what you told me and what I never said
[Chorus]
I won’t be leaving
I won’t be leaving, anymore
[Chorus]
(Hear what i say)
I won’t be leaving
I won’t be leaving, anymore
[Chorus]
(No no no no no)
I won’t be leaving
I won’t be leaving, anymore
