Longer You Wait
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
The longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone
And the longer it takes you to break my heart the longer the pain lingers on
How long will you prolong my mis'ry wish I could leave on my own
Cause the longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone
[ ac.guitar - steel ]
We both know that you've never loved me I lied to myself from the start
We both know that someday you'll leave me and the knowing just tears me apart
How long will you prolong my mis'ry...
The longer I'll hurt when you're gone
