Leave You In Love Lyrics

Fell for you in a telephone booth
Where I never, ever told the truth
I'll never love you as much as I could miss you

Dollhouse rooms and marble stairs
You tattooed me with the pen in your hair
You can rest assured the ink is still there

Shut it down, start it up
Didn't mean anything, didn't mean much
Shut it down, start it up
So I leave you in love
So I leave you in love

You came over with a bottle of bleach
And died my hair blonde in the kitchen sink
We learned how to kiss from magazines

And each night we shared a bed
You were talking in your sleep again
An ancient language, I thought you said

Shut it down, start it up
Didn't mean anything, didn't mean much
Shut it down, start it up
So I leave you in love
So I leave you in love

We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away
We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away

Shut it down, start it up
Didn't mean anything, didn't mean much
Shut it down, start it up
So I leave you in love
So I leave you in love

We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away
We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away

So I leave you in love

Perfect In My Mind

The Cruel One

Don't Send the Searchlights

Slow Emergency

Safe In L.A.

Fell for you in a telephone booth
Where I never, ever told the truth
I'll never love you as much as I could miss you

Dollhouse rooms and marble stairs
You tattooed me with the pen in your hair
You can rest assured the ink is still there

Shut it down, start it up
Didn't mean anything, didn't mean much
Shut it down, start it up
So I leave you in love 
So I leave you in love

You came over with a bottle of bleach
And died my hair blonde in the kitchen sink
We learned how to kiss from magazines

And each night we shared a bed
You were talking in your sleep again
An ancient language, I thought you said

Shut it down, start it up
Didn't mean anything, didn't mean much
Shut it down, start it up
So I leave you in love 
So I leave you in love

We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away
We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away

Shut it down, start it up
Didn't mean anything, didn't mean much
Shut it down, start it up
So I leave you in love 
So I leave you in love

We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away
We didn't move on, we didn't change
We didn't move on, we just moved away

So I leave you in love

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I love the lyrics so much. Personally, it makes me think of the movie (500) Days of Summer. Like they did all these fun things together, trying to be friends, just being good friends, but their relationship ended up being more than they had intended or expected. and one of them isn't committed to making it more/accepting that it has become more, so they leave. They leave and move away, leaving the other in love.
