All I Ever Do Is Leave

Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall

Me and myself tryna play catch

'Cause daddy ain't home yet

I was Batman, Robin and the Joker, too

It was Gotham City lonesome in the living room

And mama would say "You pray 'cause your daddy's gonna be late"

But the lights stayed on somehow

And love filled up my little house

Yeah, life ain't always what it seems

'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave

But somebody played Tooth Fairy, left the cash, took out the trash

Made mama feel pretty, put a dent in the whiskey

There were tip-toe prayers and midnight kisses

"I love you's" and little boy wishes

For Saturday's when we could play all day

But the lights stayed on somehow

And love filled up my little house

Yeah, life ain't always what it seems

'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave

Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall

Him and himself tryna play catch

'Cause I ain't home yet

But the lights stay on somehow

And love fills up my little house

Yeah, life ain't always what it seems

I hope he don't think

I hope he don't think

All I ever do is leave

All I ever do is leave
