I see it in your eyes
You look so surprised
Two blue flames burning up with love

You finally met your match
No more holding back
Well I been waiting for this day to come

If I had only known

Chorus

You like me better when I'm leaving
Like me better when I'm going
Like me better unavailable

You like me better when I'm ticked off
Ripped up, engines on and I'm slamming out the door
Took some time to figure out

But I finally get it now
You like me better when I'm leaving


The minute that I storm out
You say you're reformed now
Baby it's high time you seek some help

Now we're on the couch
To pull those demons out
And own up to how you sabotage yourself

Cause I know you love me but

Repeat Chorus


I thought I was unlovable
I thought it was all my fault

I was oblivious to your twisted logic
But now I've got it


Chorus
You like me better when I'm leaving
Like me better when I'm going

Like me better unavailable
You like me better when I'm ticked off
Ripped up, engines on and I'm slamming out the door

You like me better when I'm leaving
Like me better when I'm going
Like me better unavailable

You like me better when I'm ticked off
Ripped up, engines on and I'm slamming out the door
Took some time to figure out

But I finally get it now
You like me better when I'm leaving yeah
