With a tremblin' pen in hand I try the best I can
To write all the reasons I can't stay
And I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man
Cuz a man would never leave her this way
A note of things I should have said
Lays besude her sleepin' head
As I turn and make my way off in the night
By the time the motning's breakin'
My heart will still be achin'
Every time I think about what I left behind
CHORUS:
Cuz I don't wanna see me leavin' in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don't know the right way I can do her wrong
So I don't wanna be here in the mornin'
When she wakes up and finds me gone
It hurts to know how mush she'll hurt
I've told myself things could be worse
And I've convinced myself she's better off this way
By the time she finds I'm gone
I'll be a long, long way from home
When she reads the note of things I couldn't say
Lord, I don't wanna be here in the mornin'
When she wakes up and finds me gone
