The One Who Left

Might be over the phone or over a text

That's the way it always ends

With saying that we should just be friends

And never see you again

Give it a year or give it a week

I'm in and then out of someone's league

They go and they break me like a lease

It's getting hard to believe

When everyone says, "It's not you, it's me"

Ain't it funny how history repeats?

They get closer, I keep my losing streak

They'll say we're done

But I wanna be the one who leaves you crying in your car

I want you to resent me, I wanna make you tempt

And it takes me out of bar, you call me in the dark

I wanna hunch your bed sheets when you're with someone else

See me instead

I wanna never, ever leave your head

Be the one who leaves it all unsaid

Yeah, I know it hasn't happened yet

But I wanna be the one who left

You'll have me blocked on every account

But secretly hope I'll still reach out

'Cause I left the mess you're cleaning out

I'll let you down

I'll let you down

I'll tell you how

It's not you, it's me

Ain't it funny how history repeats?

They get closer, I keep my losing streak

They'll say we're done

But I wanna be the one who leaves you crying in your car

I want you to resent me, I wanna make you tempt

And it takes me out of bar, you call me in the dark

I wanna hunch your bed sheets when you're with someone else

See me instead

I wanna never, ever leave your head

Be the one who leaves it all unsaid

Yeah, I know it hasn't happened yet

But I wanna be the one who left you at the restaurant

I wanna

Left you wondering what went wrong

I wanna

Let you down and left you on

Wanna be the one, I just wanna be the one

Who made you think that this could last

I wanna

Made you cry and get attached

I wanna

Broke it off, broke you in half

Wanna be the one, I just wanna be the one who left
