ALANIS MORISSETTE LYRICS - The Guy Who Leaves

"The Guy Who Leaves"



Get up, don't get up

I beg you to sit tight

Sweet girl, I'll be a ghost, girl

Forget it, I am fine



If anything, a witnessing

Is all I needed that night



Until I get what I'm to get

He'll keep being compelled to flee

Until I out his false story

He'll keep playing the guy who leaves



Brother, oh, brother

Solo you did bust out

All I knew was you didn't invite me

So begin seeds of self-doubt



There is nothing as harrowing

As how I translate facts



Until I get what I'm to get

He'll keep being compelled to flee

Until I out his false story

He'll keep playing the guy who leaves



Baby, oh, partner

How well you've played this part

Similar, oh, how familiar

Reluctant truth you impart



And how you served necessity

Repeat 'til she sees light



Until I get what I'm to get

He'll keep being compelled to flee

Until I out his false story

I'll keep blaming the guy who leaves
