If You're Leaving

It's grounded in
Insecurities
The way I've been
And continue to be

I'm not the talking type
But I sure can get sad
So hold me tight
Before things get too bad

And as the sun sets in Austin
I'll be lying in our bed
Running through the things
That I've left unsaid
I don't know why you haven't yet
But I'm sure it's crossed your mind
So if you're leaving, please
Don't say goodbye

I'm a ship wreck
Lost out at sea
I'm a coward
Can't find the words to speak

You're an angel
To put up with me
But if you're leaving
I would rather think

That this has all just been a dream
I'll wake and find you gone
Have only a memory
And some second rate song
I wouldn't hold it against you
If I'm not what you need
So if you're leaving, please
Don't say a thing

I know it ain't much but I want you to know
I've been trying my hardest to take control
Of every stray thought and the words I don't share
To make every thing said to tell you that I care
I don't want another person
I don't want to see you leave
I'll say what I'm thinking even if my heart bleeds
There's a river of sadness and a forest of glee
I'm stuck in the middle and down on my knees
Can't take a step for the fear I might drown
Or lose my direction and fall back down
I need to be grounded by your loving arms
So if you're leaving, please
Don't stay gone too long
