[Verse 1]
You used to wait by my door
In a rolled-up paper dress
Made my whole week slow down
Made my lungs forget the rest
Now the couch smells like goodbye
And my ashtray holds the rain
I keep reaching for your shadow
Then I pull my hand back again
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't hate you
I just can't stay
With the sweet burn
Taking my days
[Chorus]
So I'm leaving you, green
I'm leaving you tonight
You had me spinning, sweet thing
But you don't hold me right
I'm leaving you, green
Let the smoke just fade away
(leave me clean)
I'm leaving you, green
I want my mornings back someday
[Verse 2]
Your laugh was a velvet trap
Your touch was sugar on my tongue
But you turned my honest hours
Into a song I couldn't outrun
I missed the train, missed my words
Missed the call I should have made
Now I want my name unclouded
I want my thoughts to stay awake
[Pre-Chorus]
I don't hate you
I just can't stay
With the sweet burn
Taking my days
[Chorus]
So I'm leaving you, green
I'm leaving you tonight
You had me spinning, sweet thing
But you don't hold me right
I'm leaving you, green
Let the smoke just fade away
(leave me clean)
I'm leaving you, green
I want my mornings back someday
[Bridge]
Maybe I was lonely
Maybe I was bored
Maybe I got lost
In what I swore I adored
Now I want my hands steady
I want my breath to land
If you call me in the dark
I won't come back again
[Chorus]
So I'm leaving you, green
I'm leaving you tonight
You had me spinning, sweet thing
But you don't hold me right
I'm leaving you, green
Let the smoke just fade away
(leave me clean)
I'm leaving you, green
I want my mornings back someday
