Don’t Ask Me to Leave

Verse 1

You text “you up?” like it’s innocent

I answer fast, I hate that shit

Said I was done, said I was cool

But here I am breaking rule number two

Your room still smells like cheap cologne

And every lie you’ve ever told

I see the red flags, line by line

I just pretend they’re neon signs

Pre-Chorus

You don’t promise, you imply

You don’t lie, you just let me try

To believe I’m more than this

Your favorite bad habit

Chorus

Don’t ask me to leave if you’re pulling me close

Don’t say you don’t care when you’re doing the most

You kiss like you’re guilty, touch like you know

I’ll stay even when I’m losing control

You don’t love me, you don’t have to

Just don’t act like I’m replaceable too

I’m addicted to the way you stay

Then disappear the very next day

Verse 2

You talk about her like I won’t mind

Say her name like it’s not a knife

Then you look at me like I’m safe

Like I’m the place you escape

You say “relax, it’s never that deep”

But you’re the reason I can’t sleep

I hate how bad you feel like home

Even when I’m better alone

Pre-Chorus

You don’t choose, you just delay

Let me hurt myself halfway

If I’m nothing, say it clean

Don’t keep me in between

Chorus

Don’t ask me to leave if you’re pulling me close

Don’t say you don’t care when you’re doing the most

You kiss like you’re guilty, touch like you know

I’ll stay even when I’m losing control

You don’t love me, you don’t have to

Just don’t act like I’m replaceable too

I’m addicted to the way you stay

Then disappear the very next day

Bridge

I’d rather fight than feel ignored

Rather be yours than bored

Yeah, I know that’s messed up too

But honesty looks bad on you

If loving you’s a losing game

At least say my name when you play

Don’t make me feel insane

For wanting you to want me the same

Outro

Don’t tell me I deserve better

When you’re the one I still let enter

If this is toxic, let it be

Just don’t be gentle when you leave
