The guy who leaves
Alanis morissetteI beg you to sit tight
Sweet girl, I'll be a ghost girl
Forget it I am fine
If anything a witnessing is all I needed that night
Until I get what I'm to get
You'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out this false story
You'll keep playing the guy who leaves
Brother, oh, brother
Solo you did bust out
All I knew was you didn't invite me
So begins themes of self-doubt
There is nothing as harrowing as how I translate facts
Until I get what I'm to get
You'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out this false story
You'll keep playing the guy who leaves
Baby, oh, partner
How well you've played this part
Similar, oh, how familiar
Reluctant truth you impart
And how you served necesity: "repeat 'til she sees light"
Until I get what I'm to get
You'll keep being compelled to flee
Until I out this false story
You'll keep playing the guy who leaves
