Leave

If this is what you want to do
Then I won't stand in your way
But I can't promise you that I won't be scared
And pretend that things will be the same.

I can't promise that I won't cry
When you leave me on that day
And I can't promise you that I won't say
All the things I want to say

If you think this is the only way
Then by all means, please leave
But don't expect me to be happy for you
And don't expect me not to plead

Please know that if you leave
I'll still be here always
I love you more than you can know
And will for all my days.
