Leaving Tonight
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.
You left me down, with not a chance to fall
My heart was on the line and I can't explain
To everyone that I, that I fell so in love with you
You left me waiting on the line
Waiting for you
That day was so difficult to cry myself to sleep
I knew that you would wait for me, but I was wrong
But I was wrong
Why, leaving me tonight
I pray it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again, why
You came, the days grew dim for me
I knew we would be, but I thought we would see it out
For what we had was stronger than the things they knew
We knew
Why, leaving me tonight
I pray it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again
Righteous, righteous
Leaving me tonight
Righteous, righteous
Don't leave me
No, don't go tonight
You'll see me walking away, I see you wanting to say
I pray that you would see me for me, don't walk away
And I will know that you are so true
To all that I am, finding you
And I want to get right, 'cause I don't walk around
And I want to see tonight, and I know your sound
It's like I've got to know, and I don't walk around
If I could only get right, this time I know I could
Why, leaving me tonight
I know it's only a while 'til she'll be back again
No, it's only in my head, it's everything you said
Tonight alone again, why
Righteous, righteous
Leaving me tonight
Righteous, righteous
Don't leave me tonight
Right, right, right
Righteous now, we pray
