"Love You When You Leave" Lyrics

I bet you're proud of yourself

You finally let my best friend down

She had more faith in you

Than half the Christians

In this broken town

And while you're running far away

Off with some girl

I'll run the tapes

You played the victim

Don't deserve her

A southern peach, you pitted me

'Cause when you hurt her, I hurt too

Cut her wide open, I'm the glue

Bought me a sewing kit

To stuff the love back in

Soak up the blue

Your words are sticky sweet

Your lips drip honey

And you make it easy

Easy to love you when you leave

And I bet you're kicking yourself

You've lost the warmth and summer breeze

No wind left in your sails

Eternal winter's flooding you real deep

I guess I pity you

Lost the brightest smile

You're ever gonna see

That worn-in house you made your home in

Has got no pipes left to leak

'Cause when you hurt her, I hurt too

Cut her wide open, I'm the glue

Found her a therapist

To stuff the love back in

Soak up the blue

Your words are sticky sweet

Your lips drip honey

And you make it easy

Easy to love you when you leave

Love you when you leave

It's easy as honey

To love you when you leave

I tried to like you

I tried to see you through her eyes

Came back with a cloudy view

Rosy pink, your aura magnetizing

I don't hate you

I know through you she grew

I know she loved you

Kept going back for more

Mouth dripping peach juice

I love you when you leave

It's easy as honey

To love you when you leave

'Cause when you hurt her, I hurt too

Cut her wide open, I'm the glue

Bought me a sewing kit

To stuff the love back in

Soak up the blue

Your words are sticky sweet

Your lips drip honey

And you make it easy

Easy to love you when you leave

To love you when you leave

It's easy as honey

To love you when you leave

Easy as honey
