Lyrics
I KNOW YOU'RE LEAVING ME
Words & Music by Elliot St. Paul
VERSE 1: You don't have to tell me,
I can hear it in your sighs.
You don't have to paint a picture,
Don't even have to say goodbye.
I've got 20/20 vision,
I see the writing on the wall.
You've made your own decision,
You've got one foot out the door.
CHORUS: I know you're leaving me,
Like you've done a hundred times before.
I know you're leaving me,
Once more.
VERSE 2: There are words we leave unspoken.
There are plans we leave undone.
There are hearts that we leave broken.
There are songs that won't be sung.
VERSE 3: How many lonely mornings?
How many tossin', turnin' nights?
When will we find the rhythm?
Will we ever get it right?
CHORUS
BRIDGE: I know the sun will come shining on a new day.
And I'll be back to one, still hungerin' for you babe.
VERSE 4: It's gonna take a major healing
To get me through this crazy time.
You've really got me reeling,
I've almost lost my mind.
CHORUS
