You're a Leaver

long, long time ago you told me
Just how long you thought you’d be mine
So here’s a song for you from someone
At the end of time

(Instrumental)

I’ve tried to understand your thinking
But I just can’t get shallow enough
Could you explain to me your reasons
To choose lust over love?

I guess it got a whole lot clearer
The day you left and set me free
The day I finally stopped believing
You weren’t leaving me

I will admit that there have been nights
When the streetlights burn the sky
And I remember how you loved me
Like an honest guy
Who just happened to lie

I find I’m turning to the grapevine
It tells me you’ve got someone else
They say that both of you are happy now
But time will tell
I guess I wish you well

But I know it got a whole lot clearer
The day you left and set me free
Well does she know that you’re a leaver?
And that you’ll leave her
Like you left me

But I know it got a whole lot clearer (Yes it did)
The day you left and set me free
Well does she know that you’re a leaver?
And that you’ll leave her
Like you left me
