Intro

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
