They Always Go

Wake me in the morning when you leave
I'll pretend it doesn't hurt to see you walk away
Wake me in the morning when you go
And I'll pretend I'm not falling for you, oh

But if you turn around and say
“Can I stay with you one more day?”
You know I, I'd keep you in my life
While I can, but

[Chorus]
I'm not gonna say it, “please don't leave me”
I'm not gonna say it 'cause I know
Whenever I say it, “please don't leave me”
They always go

I'll wake up and look over to where
You once laid and ruffled up your hair, oh no
And I'll pretend it doesn't hurt inside
Knowing that you're doing quite alright alone

But if you called me now to say
“Can I turn around and make my way back home to you”
I'd let you take me too, oh, but

[Chorus][x2]

I'm not gonna lie, it killed me inside
When you walked away
And I'm not gonna lie, it hits me at night
That you're far away
I'm not gonna lie, you've taken my life
And changed a part of me
I was keeping a lie but you've taken my
My heart, but I can't say--

[Chorus][x4]

They always go
