All I Ever Do Is Leave

Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall Me and myself tryna play catch 'Cause daddy ain't home yet I was Batman, Robin and the Joker, too It was Gotham City lonesome in the living room And mama would say "You pray 'cause your daddy's gonna be late" But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up my little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems 'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave But somebody played Tooth Fairy, left the cash, took out the trash Made mama feel pretty, put a dent in the whiskey There were tip-toe prayers and midnight kisses "I love you's" and little boy wishes For Saturday's when we could play all day But the lights stayed on somehow And love filled up my little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems 'Cause I thought all he ever did was leave Worn out stitches on a baseball up against the wall Him and himself tryna play catch 'Cause I ain't home yet But the lights stay on somehow And love fills up my little house Yeah, life ain't always what it seems I hope he don't think I hope he don't think All I ever do is leave All I ever do is leave
