[Intro]
You only love me when I leave
You only love me when I leave
[Verse 1]
There must be something ‘bout my tail lights
That makes it sink in
Must be something ‘bout my goodbye
That gets you thinking
Hey maybe there’s still a chance
Nah baby you don’t wanna dance
‘Til the room’s on fire
‘Til it’s down to the wire
[Chorus]
You only love me when I leave
You only miss me when I’m gone
You keep that heart under your sleeve ‘til I’m rollin’ mine up moving on
You wait ‘til I don’t want you
To tell me that you need me
You only love me love me when I’m leaving
[Verse 2]
Here come those I’m so sorry roses
Right on cue
Yeah this old comeback records broken
Feels like deja vu
Is it the back pocket of my jeans
That gets you saying baby, please
Or that screen door slam
That makes you give a damn
[Chorus]
You only love me when I leave
You only miss me when I’m gone
You keep that heart under your sleeve ‘til I’m rollin’ mine up moving on
You wait ‘til I don’t want you
To tell me that you need me
You only love me love me when I’m leaving
Oh love me when I’m leavin’
[Bridge]
You don’t see the light when mine are halfway down the road
And if I’m being honest there’s a reason that I’m leaving so slow
[Chorus]
You only love me when I leave
You only miss me when I’m gone
You keep that heart under your sleeve ‘til I’m rollin’ mine up moving on
You wait ‘til I don’t want you
To tell me that you need me
You only love me love me when I’m leaving
[Outro]
There must be something ‘bout my tail lights
That makes it sink in
