The night lingers on
As they file out the bar
Feeling no worse for the wear
A familiar glow
Casts a light on the show
Tonight you’ll be meeting her there
She never can stay til the morning
Each night always ends with a no
You’ll never believe me
But trust me completely
Love me then leave me alone
Drawing the shades on the next side of town
With the neighbors that she’s never met
Some things never are and some things never end
And some things you’d rather forget
You know they make doors for a reason
For the sins that you just can’t atone
There’s no point in styaing
I know what you’re saying
Love me then leave me alone
It always shows
In the way you track distance through discarded phones
Away you go
And the rest of us may never know
The night lingers on in this cheap hotel bar
You stare at the dull silver tap
She hasn’t checked in
Heaven knows where she’s been
It’s a trip that you’ve come to expect
You won’t be around in the morning
You leave the front desk with a note
You'll never believe me, my hearts changed completely
So long now, I’ll leave you alone
You’ll never believe me or trust me completely
Love me then leave me alone
