Keepers And Leavers

(album: More Than Three Words - 2015)

We're always chasing assholes and they take their toll.
It's not all their fault though, 'cause we really know.
We're only chasing them to feel better about ourselves.
and if we win them over then it's worth the hell.
We only want the ones who don't want us,
because we're really scared of true love.

You say, I'm a keeper but you're a leaver.
Nothing is as ever perfect as when I'm with you.
and I wanna keep you and I see you leaving,
and I see you chasing,
but you only want him 'cause he don't want you.
If I ever treated you right, what would you do.

We're always complaining saying we're alone,
When the one for us is right under our nose.
They don't fit the picture that we had in our heads.
We only see with our eyes, well love is blind my friend.

You say, I'm a keeper but you're a leaver.
Nothing is as ever perfect as when I'm with you
and I wanna keep you and I see you leaving,
and I see you chasing,
but you only want him 'cause he don't want you.
If I ever treated you right, what would you do.

Sometimes it's easy cause it's meant to be.
You're my sagittarius, you set me free.
If you'd just let me in.
Sometimes it's easy cause it's meant to be,
from Minneapolis to Tennessee.
You'd just let me in.

You say, I'm a keeper but you're a leaver.
Nothing is as ever perfect as when I'm with you
and I wanna keep you and I see you leaving,
and I see you chasing,
but you only want him 'cause he don't want you.
If I ever treated you right, what would you do.
