When She Wakes Up (and Finds Me Gone) Lyrics - All I Want - Tim Mcgraw

With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I can 

To write all the reasons I can't stay 

And I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man 

'Cause a man would never leave her this way 

A note of things I should've said 

Lays beside her sleeping head 

As I turn and make my way off in the night 

By the time the morning's breaking 

My heart will still be aching 

Every time I think of what I've left behind

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes 

And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry 

And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong 

So I don't want to be here in the morning 

When she wakes up and finds me gone 

It hurts to know how much she'll hurt 

I've told myself things could be worse 

And I've convinced myself she's better off this way 

By the time she finds I'm gone 

I'll be a long, long way from home 

When she reads a note of things I couldn't say 

'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes 

And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry 

And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong 

So I don't want to be here in the morning 

When she wakes up and finds me gone 

Lord I don't want to be here in the morning 

When she wakes up and finds me gone
