John Mayer - Never on the Day You Leave lyrics

[Chorus] No it's never on the day you leave That you wonder what you still believe in And you can't remember why you said goodbye You'll hear an old familiar sound and hope it's her when you turn around But never, never on the day you leave [Verse 1] Love grows in the time it's been Since you last heard her sing She'll cut her hair and move somewhere She don't owe you anything [Chorus] No it's never on the day you leave You can tell how it's gonna be To watch a girl become a ghost before your eyes You wish you'd given her one more kiss To put away for a night like this But never, never on the day you leave [Verse 2] Love grows in the time it's been Since you last held her hand She'll fight for you like hell Then force herself to like some other man [Chorus] No it's never on the day you leave That you remember Christmas Eve And all the things you miss about her crazy family You'll know how lonely it is to see a little drug store Christmas tree But never, never on the day you leave No never, never on the day you leave [Bridge] So it'd be better off to write her And leave a little note right there beside her That says maybe we're not perfect But I'll be damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave Damned if I ever leave
