cd: 88 Years
track 13: I’ll Be Gone Tonight
As hard as this might be to say
It needs to happen anyway
No one deserves to live in misery
I see the writing on the wall
It’s there in letters ten feet tall
So let me take the step you clearly need
I’m ashamed to say it took this long
For me to recognize the wrong
In holding on too tight for you to breath
But through the words and tears last night
I wished for ways to make it right
But only one came crashing through to me
If all I have to do is leave
To turn your world around
Let make it easy for you
I won’t hold you down
By the time you read this letter
You’ll be on the road to right
It’ll make your day
I’ll be gone tonight
Let me make your day
I’ll be gone tonight
These pictures speak a thousand words
Of times I let your voice be heard
Before I tried to close it all away
Your face recalls a different you
I’m just the stranger passing through
And I earned every word you failed to say
Chorus
When you get home I hope you smile
And recognize the pain and trials
Have lifted like veil so you can see
This love that bloomed another day
Could surely end some other way
But that would take a different man than me
Chorus
