Leech

[Verse 1]

I called you to say, “I missed you”

But, you put my call on hold

I guess I know whom you’ve got there

It’s so obvious when your voice is cold

 

I’ve been waiting for an hour

I’ve been wondering where you are

Why don’t you get back to me?

 

 

[Chorus]

You treat her like a butterfly that caught your eye

You mistreat me like I am some kind of leech

You fall for her charm

You follow her around

But, when I hold your arm

You push me to the ground

 

I’ve had enough

Open your eyes and see

What you’re doing to me

I won’t let you play with me

No more

 

 

[Verse 2]

This is what I’m gonna do

Throw your stuff away

I don’t care what you say

I’m beginning a brand new day

 

Your CDs and your books

Your letters that I mistook

Are dumped in the bin

This is how I say, “Goodbye”

 

 

[Climb]

Go on, treat her, like a butterfly

That caught your eye

It’s not me but you

The leech that suck everything out of me

 

 

[Chorus]

You fall for her charm

You follow her around

But, when I hold your arm

You push me to the ground

 

I’ve had enough

Open your eyes and see

What you’re doing to me

No, I won’t let you play with me

No more

 

You're the leech sucking the life out of me

You're the leech sucking the life out of me
