Lyrics
Ombre — Leave Before I Love You [Verse 1] Your shoes by the door Your dress on my floor You’re getting too comfortable I’m wanting you more You know how I take it You know when I lie You know when I’m distant By the look in my eyes You stay after midnight You stay when I’m quiet You put your hand on my chest And somehow I like it That’s where it gets dangerous That’s where I lose Cause wanting your body Was easier than wanting you [Pre-Chorus] So don’t ask me What I’m thinking Don’t get closer While I’m sinking Cause if you stay Another minute I might say Something I mean [Chorus] Put your clothes back on Before I ask you to stay Leave before I love you Leave before I change Don’t kiss me like that Don’t look at me that way Leave before I love you And give you something to break I can handle your body I can handle one night But I don’t know what happens If you become my life So put your clothes back on Before I ask you to stay Leave before I love you Leave before I change [Verse 2] You laugh in my kitchen Like you live here now Bare feet on the tile Hair falling down And something about it Feels too much like home I’m good with your skin I’m bad with your soul I know how to touch you I know what you like Know how to make midnight Forget about time But morning keeps asking What happens from here And every soft answer Sounds too much like fear [Pre-Chorus] So don’t tell me You could love me Don’t say things That might undo me Cause if you stay Until the sunlight I might start Believing you [Chorus] Put your clothes back on Before I ask you to stay Leave before I love you Leave before I change Don’t kiss me like that Don’t look at me that way Leave before I love you And give you something to break I can handle your body I can handle one night But I don’t know what happens If you become my life So put your clothes back on Before I ask you to stay Leave before I love you Leave before I change [Bridge] You think I’m pushing you away Maybe I am Maybe I’m trying to save Whatever this is Before I put your name Inside everything Before your perfume Starts living in my sheets Before I stop calling this Just another night Before I start needing You on my side Before your hands feel Too much like peace Before losing you Starts scaring me So please... [Breakdown] Get dressed (Get dressed) Don’t smile (Don’t smile) Don’t make leaving Take a while One kiss (One kiss) That’s all Cause if you stay I’m gonna fall And I know me (I know me) I know how this ends I turn lovers Into ghosts again [Final Chorus] Put your clothes back on Before I ask you to stay Leave before I love you Leave before I change Don’t hold me like that Don’t make me feel safe Leave before I love you And give you something to break I can handle your body I can handle tonight But I’m starting to wonder What you’d feel like in my life So put your clothes back on Before I ask you to stay Leave before I love you... Before I beg you to stay [Outro] Your shoes by the door Your dress on my floor I should let you leave But I’m watching the door Leave before I love you (Leave before I love you) Leave before I... Stay.
