I Can’t Leave Lyrics by Paula Campbell

Dreammaker

2010

You were the one I gave my heart to
And all you did was hurt me
Told me lies
I took a backseat
And you made her priority
Said it wouldn't happen again

So why I'm sitting here lonely?
So many questions left unanswered
And you wonder why the hell I can't stand her
You must not have told her about our conversations

You see
I'm running out of patience
I try my best to leave you alone
Deep down in my soul
I don't want you
Gotta get control (of my heart)

[Chorus:]
I can't leave
I know I need to leave
But I still believe he loves me
Some say I'm crazy for loving you, baby
I can't leave

I know he's not what I need
But when I'm with him
Feel so complete
I can't win from losing
Baby, please don't do this to me

There would be times I wouldn't hear from you
Say you're busy working
Called your phone
I couldn't get through
Felt insecure and uncertain
Told me you would be my best friend
But you lied and you were untrue

So I guess I'm unimportant
Between my heart and mind
I'm torn and I...
I would go out of my way to make you happy
Hoping that you would accept me
But when the tables were turned
I couldn't get you to pick up the phone
And say hey (hey)

Boy, look what you doing to me
I can't eat
I can't sleep
And the truth of the matter is I can do better
But I'm scared to face reality

I can't leave
I know I need to leave
But I still believe he loves me
I believe
But some say I'm crazy, baby
I can't leave

I know he's not what I need
But when I'm with him
Feel so complete
I can't win from losing
Baby, please don't do this to me

I can't leave
His love is all I need
Baby, stay with me
I'm out here begging please

I can't leave
I know I need to leave
But I still believe he loves me
I believe
But some say I'm crazy, baby
I can't leave

I know he's not what I need
But when I'm with him
Feel so complete
I can't win from losing
Baby, please don't do this to me
