Alanis Morissette
The Guy Who Leaves
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Baby, oh, partner
How well you've played this part
Similar, oh, how familiar
Reluctant truth you impart
And how you served necessity
Repeat until she sees light
[Chorus]
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
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
