If You Ever Leave Somebody - Mary Lambert

The moment I said it to you

You looked like you’d seen a ghost

The memory of me

I’m not who I was before

Maybe I’m worse I don’t know

With edges that cut and a heart that gave up easily

Is that who I am these days?

You looked at me and you said

If you ever leave somebody

Pray to God you’re right, don’t leave in the night

Cry like you mean it, don’t cry like a coward

Don’t lie for hours, and say what it is

If you ever leave somebody don’t do it like this

Don’t do it like this, don’t do it like this

Don’t do it like this, pray to God you’re right

Don’t do it like this, don’t do it like this

Don’t do it like this, and pray to God you’re right

Get out of my life

Came home and looked like a liar

Breath like cinder and ash

From burning you straight to the ground

And I packed my boxes quickly

Left you inside of these walls

For you to pick up the mess
