They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave

No matter what you do or say, it's there and then it's gone away.

Some may love to give it all

Head over heels they'll always call

They're only left with 9-to-5 days

Some they learn to roll the dice

And some they learn by blackened eyes

And some they learn out on the highway.

Love ain't even what it seems 'cause hearts don't only beat, they break

It could be bursting at the seams, but it all ends the same damn way.

They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave

No matter what you do or say, it's there and then it's gone away

They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave

I'm begging of you, begging of you, begging of you, begging of you please

Lock the door and throw away the key.

You grow up quick, you grow up fast, you grow attached, then it don't last

You don't break, but you keep bending

No one tells you anything

Our love is pulling on a string, yet you will never find the ending.

Love ain't even what it seems 'cause hearts don't only beat, they break

It could be bursting at the seams, but it all ends the same damn way.

They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave

No matter what you do or say, it's there and then it's gone away

They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave

I'm begging of you, begging of you, begging of you, begging of you please

Lock the door and throw away the key

Lock the door and throw away the key

Lock the door and throw away the key.
