When I Show Up Just to Leave

from why i am by Tyler Seton

about

This song is about disloyalty and knowing you are better off. You will find love again.

lyrics

V1
I’m getting drunk to hiccup the pain from yesterday,
Closing my eyes as I drive in the pouring rain,
You’re so cold, so cold, so very very cold,
The fire in your eyes doesn’t keep me warm anymore,

V2
I’m sick of these issues with your lustful ways,
There’s no honesty in your trust and that’s just not ok,
Don’t use me, abuse me, and act like you love me,
You said you want to work it out but you don’t even know what “we” means,

C1
I taste your envy,
I smell your fear,
I feel your pain,
Now I’m up and out of here,
listen to me, what I say is what I mean,
Sometimes it’s just better when I show up,
When I show up just to leave,

V3
I asked you the question more than just one time,
What’s the point of repeating it with uncertainty in your eyes?
Don’t lie, don’t lie, it will only fuck you worse,
And put my heart in a pinewood box,
6 feet beneath the earth,

V4
Why do I feel sorry? Did I pressure you to love me?
Your face hides behind your lies, why couldn’t you just trust me?
My minds like a tornado throwing caution to the wind,
If you couldn’t’ve handled that why not just break it off then?





C2
I taste your envy,
I smell your fear,
I feel your pain,
Now get the hell out of here,
Just listen to me, what I say is what I mean,
Don’t make me stay when I’ve shown up just to leave,

Bridge
Now this just isn’t fair on my end at all,
I know I’ll find love again,
She’ll love me differences and all,
Why’d you go, and flush it down the drain,
I’ll be ok, be ok, be ok,
I’m the bigger man, it’s here I take my stand,
Cause loves gonna find me, loves gonna find me in the end,

Final Chorus
I’ve tasted your envy,
I’ve seen your fears,
I’m done feeling pain,
I’m up and out of here,
Gonna do my thing and just keep being me,
I’m grateful for that day that I showed up,
I showed up just to leave
