They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave
No matter what you do or say, it's there and then it's gone away

Some may love to give it all
Head over heels they'll always call
They're only left with 9-to-5 days
Some they learn to roll the dice
And some they learn by blackened eyes
And some they learn out on the highway

Love ain't even what it seems 'cause hearts don't only beat, they break
It could be bursting at the seams, but it all ends the same damn way

They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave
No matter what you do or say, it's there and then it's gone away
They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave
I'm begging of you, begging of you, begging of you, begging of you please
Lock the door and throw away the key

You grow up quick, you grow up fast, you grow attached, then it don't last
You don't break, but you keep bending
No one tells you anything
Our love is pulling on a string, yet you will never find the ending

Love ain't even what it seems 'cause hearts don't only beat, they break
It could be bursting at the seams, but it all ends the same damn way

They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave
No matter what you do or say, it's there and then it's gone away
They leave, they leave, they leave, they leave, they leave
I'm begging of you, begging of you, begging of you, begging of you please
Lock the door and throw away the key
Lock the door and throw away the key
Lock the door and throw away the key
