If you're gonna leave, leave
Baby, what you waiting on?
Lock the door, leave the key
I get the picture, it don't need to be drawn out
With the, "Ain't you, it's me"
"Yeah, it's just bad timing"
"I love you, but I ain't ready for a diamond"
If it's over now
Well, there's nothing left to talk about

I swear words only make it worse
Only make it hurt a little more
So don't explain every little thing
Don't wanna hear you say what you're leaving for
Why don't you rip off the band-aid, make a clean break
If there's something that you wanna say, don't
'Cause I swear words only make it worse
So don't say anything

Yeah, I don't wanna hear why
I don't need you givin' me any hope
And don't you dare lie
If there's somebody else, I don't wanna know, no
Don't sell me on some down-the-road chance
I know you think you're helpin', but damn

I swear words only make it worse
Only make it hurt a little more
So don't explain every little thing
Don't wanna hear you say what you're leaving for
Why don't you rip off the band-aid, make a clean break
If there's something that you wanna say, don't
'Cause I swear words only make it worse
So don't say anything
Anything when you go
Oh, don't say anything, no, no, no

I could say, "Please stay
I'll change
I'll do anything"

But I swear words only make it worse
Only make it hurt a little more
So don't explain every little thing
Don't wanna hear you say what you're leaving for
So rip off the band-aid, make a clean break
If there's something that you wanna say, don't
'Cause I swear words only make it worse
So don't say anything
