Lyrics
I always believed that you felt for me
the same way I feel about you
But somewhere behind those beautiful eyes you were troubled but I never knew
Was I really the man to be given your hand or was somebody else meant for you
I was devoted and true I was so good to you but you just didn't know what to do
DON'T LEAVE ME MY DARLIN' DONT GO ON THE RUN LIKE AN OUTLAW WHO'S STOLEN MY HEART
BUT IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO 'COS I'M NOT THE ONE ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
We were fine for a while we painted on smiles though we might have been cryin' inside.
But now we can see this is not meant to be and we've run out of places to hide
I want you to be free not trapped here with me both of us livin' a lie
but I'll always miss you I'll never forget and I'll love you till the day that I die
DON'T LEAVE ME MY DARLIN' DONT GO ON THE RUN LIKE AN OUTLAW WHO'S STOLEN MY HEART
BUT IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO 'COS I'M NOT THE ONE ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
I want you to be free not trapped here with me both of us livin' a lie
but I'll always miss you I'll never forget and I'll love you till the day that I die
DON'T LEAVE ME MY DARLIN' DONT GO ON THE RUN LIKE AN OUTLAW WHO'S STOLEN MY HEART
BUT IF YOU FEEL YOU HAVE TO 'COS I'M NOT THE ONE ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF, ALWAYS TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF.
