[Intro: All, Luke]
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh-oh
I'm not leavin'
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh-oh
[Verse 1: Luke]
Every time you say to me it's over
You just wanna start again, it's just lies
The girl who cries wolf every day
Ignored by gravity, but in the end, don't ask why
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Michael]
You say you wanna
But do you wanna run away?
Your great escape, oh, yeah
Where you goin'? Always runnin'
Find a way to call it quits again
[Chorus: Luke, Calum]
So look at me in the eye
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
'Cause I'm not dreamin'
So look at me in the eye
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
'Cause I'm not leavin'
[Post-Chorus: All, Ashton]
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh-oh
'Cause I'm not leavin'
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh-oh
[Verse 2: Calum, Ashton]
Does it have to be this tragedy?
This endless lost parade
A castle of façade and make-believe?
The truth is spelled out in your eyes
Why don't you just reach out and make it clear to me?
What are you telling me?
[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Michael]
You say you wanna
But do you wanna run away?
Your great escape, oh, yeah
Where you goin'? Always runnin'
Find a way to call it quits again
[Chorus: Luke, Luke & Michael, Calum]
So look at me in the eye
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
'Cause I'm not dreamin'
So look at me in the eye
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
'Cause I'm not leavin'
[Post Chorus: Calum]
(Leavin', leavin', leavin', leavin')
'Cause I'm not leavin' ('Cause I'm not leavin')
'Cause I'm not leavin' ('Cause I'm not leavin')
[Bridge: Michael, Calum, Michael & Ashton]
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
Is anyone there? Is anyone there at all?
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
Is anyone there at all? ('Cause I'm not dreamin')
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
Is anyone there? Is anyone there at all?
[Chorus: Michael]
Look at me in the eye
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
I'm not dreamin'
Look at me in the eye
Is anyone there at all? Is anyone there at all?
'Cause I'm not leavin'
[Outro: All]
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh-oh
Eh-eh-oh, eh-eh-oh-oh

That was recorded a long time ago. I guess I was fighting with my wife that day. It was probably about nothing. I can’t even remember the fight–I wrote a song about a fight I can’t remember. I was so pissed and I said out loud, “Look at me...
