if you leave: 12/11/07, 12/13/07

you find me up around the stars again
wondering when i'm gonna let you in
and oh, it sounds so simple, but then again
it never really is

you don't ask no questions, & i can't decide
if that makes things better, or just more confined
i think i thought i was different now, but then again
i never really am

please don't walk away, i'll find the words to say
but if you say goodbye, i'll know the reason why
& if you leave tonight, i have to say, i loved you more
than i thought i ever could

waiting for the phone to ring, trying not to cry
so i can tell you all the reasons why
i never thought it would come to this, but then again
i'm hardly ever right

please don't walk away, i'll find the words to say
but if you say goodbye, i'll know the reason why
& if you leave tonight, i have to say, i loved you more
than i thought i ever could

so can you hold me close for one more night
& i won't pretend that i am right, oh
can you just promise me that this will never change?

am i losing you? is this the start
of another year spent in the dark, oh
you said "forever" & i'm needing you to say
that you'll stay

please don't walk away, i'll find the words to say
but if you say goodbye, i'll know that i'm the only reason why
& if you leave tonight, i have to say, i love you more
than i've ever loved anyone
