I Did Not

Want To Leave You

I did not want to leave you   No one ever gets to stay
I did not want to leave you   not today, not this way
I did not want to leave you   You may think that I’m still here
As that star appears  our song you’ll hear  and think back to the days
When I did not want to leave you

Nothing’s built to stand forever   everything is in decay
No man makes it past the darkness  finish lines don’t go away
We leave behind the things we’ve made  and I’m glad for what I’ve done
Though the time’s too soon   I can let it go  and reach toward the sun/son

I did not want to leave you   No one ever gets to stay
I did not want to leave you   not today, not this way
I did not want to leave you   You may think that I’m still here
As that star appears  our song you’ll hear  and think back to the days
When I did not want to leave you

You can beg for more  on bended knee  You can scream and you can cry
Make a deal say you’ll change    but no matter what you try
From your first day here  till the end is near   It seemed so far away
When the bill comes due and he/He comes for you There ain’t nothing left to say
 
I did not want to leave you   No one ever gets to stay
I did not want to leave you   not today, not this way
I did not want to leave you   You may think that I’m still here
As that star appears  our song you’ll hear  and think back to the days
When I did not want to leave you
