[Verse 1]

I'm in the kitchen, 20 to midnight

I just got home and I hear my phone

Oh, I see it on the piano ringing

I see your name, I slide left to speak

Then five minutes later, I'm in my car

And I'm on my way over

You've been drinking or you would have called her

You never need me whenever you're sober


[Chorus]

Oh, why'd I stay?

To entertain your same old ways

'Cause I just listen and I just trust ya

'Cause you're too wasted and I'm too sober

No way, get out

I'm screaming to myself right now

'Cause you say nice things and I just trust ya

'Cause you're too wasted and I'm too sober


[Verse 2]

I'm in your kitchen, quarter to 3

My tears they are falling, you will not catch them

Why'd I ignore my friends and the warnings?

I'm so stupid, you start to snore now

This is my own fault

I'm running out of excuses to blame you

Why do I run when you're crying the wolf song?

I'm losing track of the nights that I gave you


[Chorus]

No, why'd I stay?

To entertain your same old ways

'Cause I just listen and I just trust ya

But you're too wasted and I'm too sober

No way, get out

I'm screaming to myself right now

'Cause you say nice things and I just trust ya

'Cause you're too wasted and I'm too sober


[Bridge]

Driving home

I decide to play Gloria Gaynor

'Cause I will survive

No more of you, I have made my mind up


[Outro]

Now I won't stay

To entertain your same old ways

And I won't listen and I won't trust ya

And you'll stay wasted and I'll be sober

Oh I'm out, I'm screaming to myself right now

'Cause you're a liar and I don't want ya

You'll stay wasted and I'll be sober

From you
