lyrics

-Lyrics-

You can love me or you can leave
You can go to hell, you know that place oh so well
You can stay away from me
Or you can stay with me

You can love me or you can leave
You can go to hell
Cause you already brought down everybody else
You can stay away from me
You can stay with me

Don’t add me onto your list
Of people who got more than a kiss from you
Don’t you dare check me off
Because you know we didn’t get that far

And you can make new list
Put me on there as someone who cared
As someone who saw more worth
And a hell of a lot of hurt
Put me on there as someone who cared
About more than getting down there
I’m not scared that I cared
You can love me or you can leave
I’m not scared at all

I was never something special to you
I was just an escape, that girl to give your mentality a break
And while you sat and enjoyed the ride
You left me in the dust just wondering why
Gave me the excuse, gave me the blame

In tennis when you love all you have nothing but this
And in a game of tennis it’s not even close
Shame’s the name of the game and I’m cutting the rope

Congratulations, I was that girl you hurt
And the only way I know that is you still don’t care
Do you think I’m some sort of anchor well please
Sugar, this anchor’s gonna float in the air

I was never something special to you
I was just an escape, that girl to give your mentality a break
And while you sat and enjoyed the ride
You left me in the dust just wondering why
Gave me the excuse, gave me the blame

In tennis when you love all you have nothing but this
And in a game of tennis it’s not even close

Well, I hope to see you down the road to success,
And maybe some point you’ll learn to speak from your chest
We were doing this dance and you’re ahead of the ball
But I want nothing from you so I can love all

Nothing, so I can love all

You can love me or you can leave


*Lyrics Written by Sheralyn Wellman and Katherine O'Leary*
