lyrics

beauty left shadows
the shadows black and blue
in the ache of the moonlight
she brings a glass to her lips,
and stains them with Palisade wine

oh, I've never seen her so angry
oh. she's holding back on me
keeping words for ransom

and I keep on asking myself, why don't I leave?

leave, leave

when I was young,
my mama said "don't play pretend 'cause someday you'll grow up and mean it"
but beauty plays mean and she means it
she's breaking me down
to build me up again

oh, her lips sweet as peaches
oh, she's holding me
holding love for ransom

and I keep on asking myself, why don't I leave?
leave, leave

i'm gone
she's in the words of every goddamn song
she's sorry how it all went wrong
'til I'm back on her doorstep
and wrapped up in her arms
i need someone to tell me it's not my fault

but I'll hold my tongue
'cause I'm tired of the talking
and she's walking the walk all over me

and I keep on asking myself, why don't I leave?
leave, leave
and I keep on asking myself, why don't I leave?
leave, leave
