(I Won't Be) Leaving
It's cold and you're leaving
Midnight cars roll down the street
The streetlight shines in the gutter
And you going off to sleep
But baby I sit up smoking
Wipe the ashes off the bed
Think of what you told me
And the words I never said
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
Now a police helicopter fly circles in the sky
When I ask myself baby
Could you believe just one more lie
And I sit up smoking
Wipe the ashes off the bed
Think of what you told me
And the words I never said
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
And I see you sleeping our shoes on the floor
It would be so easy baby to slip out the door
But if you are awake girl
I swear I would tell you
That I won't be leaving anymore
I hear sirens in the darkness
Tell sad stories in the night
Coulda been me caught red-handed
Coulda been me that lost the fight
But baby I sit up smoking
Wipe the ashes off the bed
Think of what you told me
And the words I never said
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving
Midnight cars roll down the street
The streetlight shines in the gutter
And you going off to sleep
But baby I sit up smoking
Wipe the ashes off the bed
Think of what you told me
And the words I never said
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
Now a police helicopter fly circles in the sky
When I ask myself baby
Could you believe just one more lie
And I sit up smoking
Wipe the ashes off the bed
Think of what you told me
And the words I never said
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
And I see you sleeping our shoes on the floor
It would be so easy baby to slip out the door
But if you are awake girl
I swear I would tell you
That I won't be leaving anymore
I hear sirens in the darkness
Tell sad stories in the night
Coulda been me caught red-handed
Coulda been me that lost the fight
But baby I sit up smoking
Wipe the ashes off the bed
Think of what you told me
And the words I never said
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving anymore
I won't be leaving
I won't be leaving
