Carly Pearce, Riley Green - If I Don't Leave I'm Gonna Stay (Official Music Video)

The Official Video for "If I Don't Leave I'm Gonna Stay" by Carly Pearce (ft. Riley Green)

GRAMMY, CMA & ACM Award-winning Country star Carly Pearce teams up with Riley Green for their epic new duet “If I Don’t Leave I’m Gonna Stay.” The song brims with will they/won’t they tension, following a magnetic pair who can’t quite seem to give each other up. The couple toys with the possibility of reverting back to square one, even though they know that the wine-induced, passion-filled reconciliation will only end in heartbreak.

LYRICS:
Written by Devin Dawson, Seth Ennis, Jordan Minton, Jordan Reynolds

Two more glasses in the bottle
One more pour and I’m pretty sure I shouldn’t drive
I got church early tomorrow
And I can’t walk in all a mess in this dress I’m in tonight

By the minute, bad decisions start sounding good
Baby, I ain’t saying I should

Chorus
If I don’t leave, I’m gonna stay
If we don’t stop, we’re gonna start all over again
And if I bend, I’m gonna break
We’re gonna blame it on the rain, or on the wine
We’re getting close to losing clothes
I should go, look at the time, it’s getting late
If I don’t leave, I’m gonna stay

We’re so good at striking matches
But we’re no good at ever putting out the flame
We keep on dancing in the ashes
And baby isn’t doing this the definition of insane
Just say what you need to say

Repeat Chorus

We’re already past the point of turning around
But just to say I said it out loud

Repeat Chorus
