Lyrics--If I Could Leave Me Now

By Robert Anderson

INTRO

VERSE 1 Well, again last night uh we began to fight, like all the times before, When uh suddenly I felt strange, through and through. The things in my head and the words I said, didn't make sense anymore. Now I realize my life's a lie, I can't think what to do.

CHORUS But if I could leave me now, I'd walk right out on me. I'd tell myself, for my own health, it's time to set me free. In fact I've taken from me, much more than I should, So if I could leave me now, yes I would.

INSTRUMENTAL

VERSE 2 Well, it's hard to see how you stayed with me, now that these eyes are open. My bags are packed and sittin' by the door. I could go somewhere but I'd still be there, so secretly I'm hopin' I can stick around until I've found, who I am once more.

INSTRUMENTAL

CHORUS

BRIDGE I've always been the one I thonght you wanted me to be, But now I guess I'll search for the me that's really me.

CHORUS 2x Oh, if I could leave me now, I'd walk right out on me. I'd tell myself, for my own health, it's time to set me free. In fact I've taken from me, much more than I should, So if I could leave me now, yes I would.

CODA Oh, if I could leave me now I surely would.
