Music and Lyrics by Alexis Normand

I think I was crying on the bus
I think I was crying on the bus cuz’ people just kept staring
I think I was crying over us

My sister was on the line with me
My sister was on the line with me asking if she should worry
My sister was a lifeline for me

After the surge you were so kind
Making it harder every time
I tried to leave you and your vicious circle

You were so good at picking fights
You were so good at picking fights and I could feel them coming
You were so good at being right

I got really good at giving in
I got really good at giving in and gave too many chances
You did what you could to wear me thin

Checking the history on my phone
Never allowed to leave alone
There was no way out of your vicious circle
After the surge you were so kind
Making it harder every time
I tried to leave you and your vicious circle

Deep down when I would listen
I could hear her shout: “You’ve got to get yourself out”
Deep down when I would listen
I knew that she was right, I had tried with all my might

But being with you got way too hard
I was so anxious and on guard
Never allowed to leave alone
You were checking the history on my phone
And playing down every harsh exchange
Pleading with me, this time you’ll change
That’s when I saw right through your vicious circle
After the surge you were so kind
Making it hardest the last time
I managed to leave you …

Leave, leave
Leave, leave
