Merle Haggard - Longer You Wait lyrics

rate me

(Merle Haggard)

The longer you wait to leave me

The longer I'll hurt when you're gone

And the longer it takes you to break my heart

The longer the pain lingers on.

How long will you prolong my misery

Wish I could leave on my own

'Cause the longer you wait to leave me

The longer I'll hurt when you're gone.

--- Instrumental ---

We both know that you never loved me

I lied to myself from the start

We both know that someday you'll leave me

And the knowin' just tears me apart.

How long will you prolong my misery

Wish I could leave on my own

'Cause the longer you wait to leave me

The longer I'll hurt when you're gone.

The longer I'll hurt when you're gone...
