Like a Saturday night I'll be gone
Like a Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
So you wrote it down I'm supposed to care
Even though it's never there
Sorry if I'm not prepared
Is it hard to see the things you substitute
For me and all my thoughts of you
It's eating me alive to leave you
Maybe it's childish and maybe its wrong
But so is your blank stare is lieu of this song
Maybe it's childish and maybe its wrong
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this
song
I'm breathing in your skin tonight
Quiet is my loudest cry
Wouldn't want to wake the eyes that make me melt inside
And if it's healthier to leave you be
May your sickness come and set me free
Kill me while I still believe that you were meant for me
I'm writing my own words, my own little stage
My own epic drama, my own scripted page
I'll send you the rough draft, I'll seal it with tears
Maybe you'll read it and I'll reappear
From the start it was shaky and the characters rash
A nice setting for heartache where emotions come last
Oh, I haven't even sought to overcome this desire
Of friendly intentions and fare-weathered smiles
And I don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this song
Don't want to be, don't want to be wro- -ong
You're leaving me, you're leaving me in lieu of this, in lieu of this
song
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
Like Saturday night I'll be go- -one
Like Saturday night I'll be gone before you knew that I was there
