Lyric When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone)

With a trembling 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
Cause a man would never leave her this way

A note of things I should ve said
Lays beside her sleeping head
As I turn and make my way off in the night
By the time the morning s breaking
My heart will still be aching
Every time I think of what I ve left behind

Cause I don t want to see me leaving in her eyes
And I can t stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don t know a right way I can do her wrong
So I don t want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

It hurts to know how much 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 a note of things I couldn t say

Cause I don t want to see me leaving in her eyes
And I can t stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don t know a right way I can do her wrong
So I don t want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone

Lord I don t want to be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone
