Lyrics
You can lay right here beside me, like there ain?t nothing wrong,
You can lie beside me, pretending that everything is fine.
Kill the light and say goodnight and turn the TV off,
Turn off the lights, say goodnight, and end the day.
Act as if I don?t know what it is that you can't find the words to say,
Pretend that I don't notice your inability to express yourself.
Aw baby you can leave or you can stay,
Whether you leave or stay, it's up to you, baby.
You?re gone either way
You'll be gone either way.
We can share the bed and share the rent but this house ain?t a home,
We may share a bed and expenses, but this place doesn't feel like home.
And if I?m gonna be lonely I?d just assume be alone,
If I'm going to be lonely, I'd prefer to be alone.
How can you say you love me when you can?t even look me in the face,
Questioning the sincerity of your love when you can't look me in the eyes.
Stay right here and disappear without a trace,
Stay here and vanish without a trace.
You?re gone either way
You'll be gone either way.
I don?t need the hurt from hangin? on to someone who?s got one foot out the door
Refusing to endure the pain of holding onto someone already leaving.
And I can?t waste another minute of my love if you don?t love me anymore,
Unwilling to waste more time loving if the love is no longer reciprocated.
No, no, no
No, no, no.
Naw, don?t need the hurt from hangin? on to someone who?s got one foot out the door,
Reiterating the unwillingness to endure pain from a departing partner.
I can?t waste another minute of my love if you don?t love me anymore
Cannot waste more love on someone who no longer loves back.
Don?t know why you sit here with me, we both know the truth,
Questioning why you're still with me when we both know the truth.
You just worry ?bout what leavin? me would make people think of you,
Concerned about how leaving me would affect your public image.
It don?t matter what your mamma or your daddy or your preacher?s got to say,
Disregarding the opinions of family, friends, or preachers.
Girl you can hit that door or waste another day,
You can leave now or waste another day.
What kind of difference would it make,
Highlighting the insignificance of the choice.
You?re gone either way,
Regardless, you'll be gone either way.
Girl you?re gone either way,
Emphasizing that you're leaving, no matter what.
So just get on.
Directing the person to leave.
