Standing Tall

Everything I've tried to do for you
Has always turned out wrong
It took a lot of love inside of me
To keep me here this long
It's too late to dim the lights again
Expecting me to call
Cause tonight I'm gonna leave you
And I'm leaving standing tall
If I could see inside your mind
I wonder what I'd find
There's somethin' there that's made me come
So close to losing mine
The tallest tree will sometimes bend
Oh, but that don't make it fall
I'm packin' it up to leave you
And I'm leavin' standing tall
Now I'm picking up the pieces
Of the heart that you've been breaking
And I'm down on my knees
Just to try and find them all
And when I get up one long last look
Is all that I'll be taking
Cause tonight I'm finally leaving
And I'm leaving standing tall
Yes, tonight I'm finally leaving
And I'm leaving standing tall
