If You're Leaving Lyrics

It's grounded in

Insecurities

The way I've been

And continue to be

I'm not the talking type

But I sure can get sad

So hold me tight

Before things get too bad

And as the sun sets in Austin

I'll be lying in our bed

Running through the things

That I've left unsaid

I don't know why you haven't yet

But I'm sure it's crossed your mind

So if you're leaving, please

Don't say goodbye

I'm a ship wreck

Lost out at sea

I'm a coward

Can't find the words to speak

You're an angel

To put up with me

But if you're leaving

I would rather think

That this has all just been a dream

I'll wake and find you gone

Have only a memory

And some second rate song

I wouldn't hold it against you

If I'm not what you need

So if you're leaving, please

Don't say a thing

I know it ain't much but I want you to know

I've been trying my hardest to take control

Of every stray thought and the words I don't share

To make every thing said to tell you that I care

I don't want another person

I don't want to see you leave

I'll say what I'm thinking even if my heart bleeds

There's a river of sadness and a forest of glee

I'm stuck in the middle and down on my knees

Can't take a step for the fear I might drown

Or lose my direction and fall back down

I need to be grounded by your loving arms

So if you're leaving, please

Don't stay gone too long
