If you have to leave make it quick and clean
I don't open my heart for just anybody
If you have to go I want you to know
You will never break free from the memory of me
Started with a bang, no pun intended
Had me rearranged, my arms extended
I was under a spell, your magic was new
So hard to see right in front of you
In the everyday we began to sputter
We forgot to talk, were silent lovers
Even that got old, all good things do
Now I'm waving my hands right in front of you
If you have to leave make it quick and clean
I don't open my heart for just anybody
If you have to go I want you to know
You will never break free from the memory of me
I'm pretty sure I hide the baddest temper
And it only gets worst middle of November
When the days are short and the nights are blue
So hard to know what's right in front of you
Stop sneaking a peek in the neighbors garden
Cuz whatever you see is just a pretty mirage
Love is very sharp, it'll cut right through
Can you feel the scars running over you?
If you have to leave make it quick and clean
I don't open my heart for just anybody
If you have to go I want you to know
You will never break free from the memory of me
Now I'm wasting my breath for such a meaningless fight
Cuz I'm not even sure if anyone can be right
I just want to fend off the terror and the gloom
That will take your place when you leave the room
What's done is done, better now than later
Even childhood friends turn into traitors
Gather up your faith for what you can't prove
Never pay no mind to what's in front of you
I could you pick you apart, make a list of errors
Try to land your friends, fill your life with terror
Rather disappear and start something new
So you will miss what was in front of you
What did you think would really happen?
Break into a cheer? Start wild clapping?
Read all about it, here's the breaking news
I'm the only person still here for you
I'm fine, I'm fine, I'm barely shaking
Don't worry about me, I have awakened
Everything you said is the bitter truth
Everything you said, I should have said to you
(And now I ain't nobody, and now I ain't)
I should have said to you
(And now I ain't nobody, and now I ain't)
I should have said to you
(And now I ain't nobody, and now I ain't nobody)
(And now I ain't nobody, and now I ain't nobody)
(If you have to leave)
(If you have to leave)
(If you have to leave)
(If you have to leave)
If you have to leave make it quick and clean
I don't open my heart for just anybody
If you have to go I want you to know
You will never break free from the memory of me
