Love The Ones Who Leave You

Think about you sometimes
Think about your mom and your dog and your red vines
Do you think about me?

Laying in our laundry
The worries in your head
Never coming out clean and I’m sorry
That I never felt peace
I should have held you closer
But it was already over, it was already over

Were you hoping I would never change, I would never change
Do you think we gave it all away, gave it all away
If I kept you, If I left you… I lose
Sometimes you love the ones who leave you

I see you on the Eastside
And feel a little piece of relief
That you’re alright
but you never see me
I wonder in the evenings
Where you’re at with your home and your love
and your daydreams
like a flickering screen
I should have held you closer
but it was already over, it was already, already, already over

You still love the ones, love the ones who leave you
You still love the ones, love the ones who leave you
