All I Ever Do Is Leave

[Verse 1]
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"

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 where we could play all day

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall
He and himself tryna play catch
'Cause I ain't home yet

[Chorus]
But the lights stayed 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

[Outro]
All I ever do is leave
