I ain't leavin' without your love Under the downtown neon lights That's when you caught my eye You got me all worked up It's obvious we both know The night ain't long enough This goin' end tomorrow Tonight ain't long enough I'm old enough to know that

And you know, coming back is harder And leaving me is easy I read all the letters, I read each word that you've sent to me And though it's past now, and the words start to fade All the memories I have still remain I've kept all the pictures, but I hide

Let's put that boot to the pedal, aw, that pedal to the metal We ain't gotta settle for the same old sames It's called leaving for a reason, mistakes are made for making We don't know which hell we go Roads we've never taken Bucket seats, bucket lists

But I'm not leaving it like this Put another candle in the wind It's just another thing that I can't fix Play another game that I can't win Maybe I should find a common ground Scratch another problem off my list Go ahead and kick me when I'm down You got

It's not you, it's me (it's me) I'm the only one I need (ooh-ooh) It's not you, baby (baby) 'Cause I'm leaving you for me (ooh-ooh) I don't want you blaming yourself It's bad for your health 'Cause honestly (ooh) I'm the only one, I'm the, I'm the only
