Say leave
If that's what you want from me
And I'll pack my bags and go
Drive out past the county lines
And you'll sleep alone
No hard questions from my soft lips
The ones you swore to me you'd kill to kiss
If you're asking to end this, then please say leave

You walked into a party still had smoke in your mouth
The light was dancing you like a fire broke out
I was silent in the corner
Like a funeral mourner
Watching everything I'd ever been without you fall away
Fall away

It was a desperate drug
I could never get enough
There was something I could touch in you
that touched in me a person who
I wanted to uncover
You were more than just a lover
You were infinite and so was I
and so were we or so I believed
Ooh

Turned us both to stone 45 feet thick
You're amazing my Medusa, you're a magic trick
I turned the other cheek a few too many times
My angel, my Medusa give me one more smile and then please

I won't plead my case to change your mind
no use for that now
I'll fade into the background so someday you can say how
Undeniable the end became
How we both could see it coming
But the truth is much more cruel
If I'd have seen it, I'd be running to you

Wrapped you in my arms
Built a castle made of armor
Hide us both away
I'd have done anything to save us
Burn cities to the ground
To keep that vicious word out of your mouth
But here I am my blinding love and me

Turned us both to stone 45 feet thick
You're amazing my Medusa, you're a magic trick
I turned the other cheek a few too many times
My angel, my Medusa give me one more smile
and then please say it to me

Say leave
If that's what you want from me
And I'll have to give you that
I'll drive out past the county lines and I won't look back
And these wounds are gonna heal
And some mystery will be revealed
But I'll never be the same 'cause of a love that didn't stay
To which I'd never have been the one to say leave
