I Couldn't Leave You If I Tried

The sun is coming up, and I'm just going down
Everywhere I look, the world keeps turning 'round
Though I said I never would be satisfied
But baby, I lied, I couldn't leave you if I tried

Sometimes, I get lost out on this sad old town
And every bridge I cross just turns me upside down
And every stumbling step I take back to your side
It hurts my pride, I couldn't leave you if I tried

Well, I could not walk away, no matter what I say
I won't be leaving, believe it or don't
You're all that I want

Tears may fall, but after all is said and done
Darlin', please believe me you're the only one
And I'll admit mistakes I've made me realize
But baby, I lied, I couldn't leave you if I tried

Well, I won't be leaving you, no matter what I do
I'm gonna see it through to the end
And do it again

Years may come and friends may go, but that's okay
Darlin', you're the only one I need to stay
I know I said I never would be satisfied
But baby, I lied, I couldn't leave you if I tried

I couldn't leave you if I tried
