Always Leaving

CHORUS:
It seems you’re always leaving me,
always singing that same song;
and though you haven’t disappeared
quite yet, it can’t be long;
and though you seem so logical,
I swear you must be wrong;
oh please don’t go on leaving me
please stop singing that sad song.

Can you remember how you looked at me,
so many years gone by;
remember how you reached for me –
lifted me so high;
we were so good; you know we were,
and there’s just no reason why
you’re back again to leaving me;
you’re telling me goodbye

    CHORUS:

I want my lips against your lips,
my fingers in your hair;
I want to breathe what’s in your chest,
I need to taste your air;
I want my skin against your skin,
pressed closer than we dare;
You know there’s never been a love like this;
So shining sharp and rare.

    CHORUS:

And you say you’d never walk away,
you swear you’d never go;
you ask me please to trust in you,
to have some faith — and though
that may well be the only way
to keep you here….I know
deep in my bones, you’ll never stay;
in heart and skin, and so…

It seems you’re always leaving me,
always singing that same song;
and though you haven’t disappeared
quite yet, it can’t be long;
and though you seem so logical,
I swear you must be wrong;
oh please don’t go on leaving me
please stop singing that damn song.
