The Guy Who Leaves Lyrics - Alanis Morissette

Get up, don't get up 

I beg you to sit tight 

Sweet girl, I'll be a ghost, girl 

Forget it, I am fine 

If anything, a witnessing 

Is all I needed that night 

Until I get what I'm to get 

He'll keep being compelled to flee 

Until I out his false story 

He'll keep playing the guy who leaves 

Brother, oh, brother 

Solo you did bust out 

All I knew was you didn't invite me 

So begin seeds of self-doubt 

There is nothing as harrowing 

As how I translate facts 

Until I get what I'm to get 

He'll keep being compelled to flee 

Until I out his false story 

He'll keep playing the guy who leaves 

Baby, oh, partner 

How well you've played this part 

Similar, oh, how familiar 

Reluctant truth you impart 

And how you served necessity 

Repeat 'til she sees light 

Until I get what I'm to get 

He'll keep being compelled to flee 

Until I out his false story 

I'll keep blaming the guy who leaves
