Don't Let Me Leave - Lindsay Perry

How can this be Though all these years I have been true to thee You had the nerve to say you're done with me And that I should leave, girl, you're killing me Take another day Before you go and throw it all away And if you do I know we'll find a way Just believe in me 'cause I'm here to stay Don't let me leave here, girl 'Cause if I do I promise I will look the other way Girl, I know you need me by your side You don't see it, but I know it, this is why Don't let me leave here, girl Just let me tell you why You're all I ever needed And everything worth fighting for Before you go and throw it all away Girl, I just know that we can find a way Please believe in me 'cause I'm here to stay Don't let me leave here, girl 'Cause if I do I promise I will look the other way Girl, I know you need me by your side You don't see it, but I know it, this is why Don't let me leave here, girl Just let me tell you why You're all I ever needed And everything worth fighting for Don't let me leave here, girl 'Cause if I do I promise I will look the other way Girl, I know you need me by your side You don't see it, but I know it, this is why Don't let me leave here, girl Just let me tell you why You're all I ever needed And everything worth fighting for You're all I ever needed And everything worth fighting for

Wide awake in clothes I haven't changed For days and days as the sun creeps through the window on my face Just let it go You say I'm like a ghost My skin is white as paper as I haunt the halls of my home, oh-oh I scream like it would stop the ache Your colors start to show (show) I know what I have to do, but it kills me Rewriting all the songs I'd change your name, but I know you'll still take everything to heart Just let it go I wonder if we'll die with hope Or if we'll be counting the sins we carry deeply as we go I just wanted you to have a better life Not always shying away from your thoughts on the inside I, I could set you free I put you on a shelf, knowing that I'd be Too far to reach you from down in hell The sun slumps back as I burn your dreams To the best of my ability, so just let me leave I scream like it would stop the ache Your colors start to show (show) I know what I have to do, but it kills me Sleep, if anything, I'll dream It's only then I'll have you I know what I have to do, but it kills me

What you came here to say you said The time you had alone Got it all straight in your head This is the time you said you'd choose I guess I loose Now the truth has settled in my heart To watch you walk away Is gonna be the hardest part So don't just turn around and leave Do one last thing for me Please let me leave you What difference would it No one will ever know Please let me leave you Then I won't have to watch you go It's gonna hurt us both I know But at least you've got Somewhere else to go When you leave I'll be alone Just alone Please let me leave you What difference would it No one will ever know Please let me leave you Then I won't have to watch you go Let me leave you What difference would it No one will ever know Please let me leave you Then I won't have to watch you go

Don't leave me now Leave me out in the pouring rain With my back against the wall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out with nowhere to go As the shadows start to fall Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Leave me out on this lonely road As the wind begins to howl Don't leave me now Don't leave me now All alone on this darkest night Feeling old and cold and grey Don't leave me now Oh-oh-oh oh Oh don't leave me now Leave me holding an empty heart As the curtain starts to fall Don't leave me now Oh don't leave me now All alone in this crazy world When I'm old and cold and grey And time is gone Oh-oh-oh oh
