All I Ever Do Is Leave

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall Me and myself tryna play catch 'Cause Daddy ain't home yet I was Batman, Robin, and the Joker, too It was Gotham City lonesome in the living room And Mama would say "You pray 'cause your daddy's gonna be late" [Chorus] But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up my little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems 'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave [Verse 2] But somebody played Tooth Fairy, left the cash, took out the trash Made Mama feel pretty, put a dent in the whiskey There were tip-toe prayers and midnight kisses "I love you's" and little boy wishes For Saturday's where we could play all day [Chorus] But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up my little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems 'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave [Bridge] Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall He and himself tryna play catch 'Cause I ain't home yet [Chorus] But the lights stayed on somehow And love fills up my little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems I hope he don't think I hope he don't think All I ever do is leave [Outro] All I ever do is leave
