When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)

Use A− / A+ to adjust text size
With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I canTo write all the reasons I can't stayAnd I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man'Cause a man would never leave her this wayA note of things I should've saidLays beside her sleeping headAs I turn and make my way off in the nightBy the time the morning's breakingMy heart will still be achingEvery time I think of what I've left behind'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyesAnd I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cryAnd I don't know a right way I can do her wrongSo I don't want to be here in the morningWhen she wakes up and finds me goneIt hurts to know how much she'll hurt I've told myself things could be worseAnd I've convinced myself she's better off this wayBy the time she finds I'm goneI'll be a long, long way from homeWhen she reads a note of things I couldn't say'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyesAnd I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cryAnd I don't know a right way I can do her wrongSo I don't want to be here in the morningWhen she wakes up and finds me goneLord I don't want to be here in the morningWhen she wakes up and finds me gone
