If I Leave Lyrics by Shane Byous

Lake Country - EP

2023

[Verse 1]
Well I’m sorry darlin’, I’m tryin’
Let’s go ahead with a plan
We’ll talk about what’s on your mind more often
And I’ll try to be more of a man
And I hope that you take your time when we lay down in our separate beds
Wonderin’ why I make you cry so often
And me thinkin’ of all that I said
[Chorus]
Your momma tells everyone she loves me
My daddy says you’re the one
And I know it’s best if I leave even though we both know I won’t run
I need to practice what I preach instead of starin’ at the doors that I slammed
But if I don’t I’m damned
If I don’t wе’re damned
[Verse 2]
When I walk in my room and brеak down
The threshold of hope I behold
Well I reckon I should shut my mouth more often
For more than one reason I’m told
And I wish I were a willow tree so I could bend in the wind and not break
But I see myself as an oak
So often I just forget the strength bein’ weak takes
[Chorus]
Your momma tells everyone she loves me
My daddy says you’re the one
And I know it’s best if I leave even though we both know I won’t run
I need to practice what I preach instead of starin’ at the doors that I slammed
I just forgot who I am
Just forgot who I am
[Outro]
Well I’m sorry darlin’, I’m tryin’
Let’s go ahead with a plan
