Tim Mcgraw - When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone) lyrics

rate me

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
