Verse 1
So let's set the scene
He walked out
to a busy street
In the summer heat
Hazy from the night before
Not the type to
spend one alone
Even though he knows
Come the morning
he'll be gone
Just moving on
Verse 2
She awoke in an empty bed
The sting of regret
Creeping into every bone
On the nightstand
a note that read
"Girl I won't be back
you deserve better than that"
She would cry if
she could lie to herself
Cause she's used
to the first time
Always being her last
Chorus
Can you see it dripping
down from her lips
Dancing on her fingertips?
Can you see the pain that she hides
Deep inside in her eyes?
This is all just what it seems
Give me just another dream
Could be that the end doesn't al ways
Just justify the means
Sometimes it's better to just leave
Post chorus:
Sometimes it's better to just leave
Verse 3
So let's set this straight
Two weeks later
he's back again
City of sin
And she's acting out her role
She arrives a touch at the waist
To another pretty face
And she's taking
this one home
She will lie and he
will buy her lines
Cause you were never the first
She tries that shit all the time
(Repeat Chorus)
Bridge
She's so afraid of
what she's become
She's begging just to feel
something for anyone
Nothing can stand
but she's made up her
Mind is all I can't
hang on now
She is on her own
Get out while you
still have some heart left
You can't say "so
long" with no hope
(Repeat Chorus)
Outro
With Guitar Solo on 2nd Guitar
Sometimes it's better to just leave
Sometimes it's better to just leave
Sometimes it's better to just leave
Sometimes it's better to just leave
