Don't Leave

When you called me that night,

When we had that stupid fight,

You kept begging for me to tell you,

But that's not something I can do.

It's so pointless I can't admit,

So I tell you not to worry about it.

I sit shaking,

Listening to all the statements you're making.

You were my best friend,

I couldn't do it.

I can't hurt you.

You were so close to breaking down.

I was trying to help.

I needed to get away from it.

I didn't want anyone hurt.

I don't want you mad at me.

You're still one of my best friends.

Please tell me.

Say something.

I have no clue what to say,

I can't think of how things got this way.

My mind is so exhausted,

I ask if we can talk tomorrow instead.

You hesitate and say alright,

I smile and say goodnight.

I love you.

Love you too.

Thank god you said it back,

Maybe things aren't totally off track.

But we hardly talked the next day,

That night you tell me you're going away.

You'll be back in four short days,

I'm hoping by then we're out of this haze.

I know I shouldn't be mad,

But the way you said it sounded so bad.

I don't want to fight.

I still want those calls in the middle of the night.

I still want you to be there,

Baby, I still care.

When you come back you're coming here,

We'll kick out whomever's near.

I promise you I won't balk,

Once we sit down at start to talk.

I'll explain what I can,

Please don't leave me again.

I need to fix it, but I can't when he's not here. Once Tuesday comes...I'll do it. I have to. I can't lose him again. Review?
