Every time I should leave

You say things that make me blink twice,

Stuff I’d roast another guy for.

You’ll drop one take and I’m thinking,

“Okay… maybe I shouldn’t come back anymore.”

But then you text, “What you doing?”

And suddenly I’m losing the plot.

Got plans to quit you every morning,

But at night I forget why not.

⸻

And I hate that I wait for your name on my screen,

Refreshing like you’re saying “come over,” even though you never do, not to me.

⸻

But every time I should leave… you touch me and I forget.

All the red flags I’ve seen… yeah, they fall right out of my head.

You say one weird thing, and I swear I’m done,

Then you pull me close and I’m back to square one.

Every time I should leave… I stay instead.

I stay instead.

⸻

You’re not cruel, you’re not careless,

Just got takes that make my jaw drop.

I hear them and think, “Girl, be serious —

This is your sign to stop.”

But then we’re tangled on your pillow,

And suddenly I’m losing again.

It’s like you hit delete on my boundaries

With the way your hands land on my skin.

⸻

And I hate how I jump any time I hear your ringtone,

Thinking maybe tonight you’ll ask me to come, even though you never say it first on your own.

⸻

But every time I should leave… you touch me and I forget.

All the red flags I’ve seen… yeah, they fall right out of my head.

You say one weird thing, and I swear I’m done,

Then you pull me close and I’m back to square one.

Every time I should leave… I stay instead.

I stay instead.

⸻

Maybe it’s the way you kiss me,

Feels like rewiring my brain.

Like everything I swore I believed in

Doesn’t matter in your place.

And I know it makes no sense —

Girl who knows better, losing bets.

But you say “come over” in that half-grin tone,

And suddenly I forget.

⸻

I should leave…

But you touch me and I forget…

I forget…

⸻

’Cause every time I should leave… you touch me and I forget.

All the red flags I’ve seen… yeah, they fall right out of my head.

You say one strange thing, and I swear I’m done,

Then you pull me close and I’m back to square one.

Every time I should leave… I stay instead.

I stay instead.

Yeah… I stay instead.
