VERSE 1:
Help me make it through the night
I just needa feel alive
Don't look at me with the same eyes
You looked at me when we said goodbye
Kiss the lips that sold the lies
Arms I died in a thousand times
Excuses I made for you
Trying to fix a heart I didn't bruise
I could be good for you
You only love me when I'm gone
HOOK:
You only love me when I'm gone
Call me every time I sail on
You pull me in
Bring me ashore
But I can't swim no more
VERSE 2:
The night is young
The drinks is cold
Ya textin' me to come back home
Said ya hate sleepin' alone
Last I heard you remarried
Does he make ya happy?
In ya eyes all I see, regret and misery
Excuses made for you
Heart I didn't bruise
I could be good for you
You only love me when I'm gone
HOOK:
You only love me when I'm gone
Call me every time I sail on
You pull me in
Bring me ashore
But I can't swim no more
SPOKEN:
Hold on, I'll be right back
I gotta...
I just gotta take this phone call
Nah, you trippin' it's somebody else
Hello?
Why'd you fuckin' text me?
You got some kind of fucking app?
The "Solomon Is Happy" app?
The "Solomon Is Out Chillin' with His Friends" app?
To alert you to shit all over my happiness?
You know you do this shit every time
Every fucking' time.
But you can't do this to me anymore
Cause next week I'm changing my number
And as a matter of fact, I'm moving back to California
And I'll be 10 thousand
4 trillion, gabillion, million miles
From you, New York, this street
These dogs that shit all over the sidewalk
And this fucking restaurant!
HOOK:
You only love me when I'm gone
Call me every time I sail on
You pull me in
Bring me ashore
But I can't swim no more
You only love me when I'm gone
Call me every time I sail on
You pull me in
Bring me ashore
But I can't swim no more
