The longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone   And the longer it takes you to break my heart the longer the pain lingers on   How long will you prolong my mis'ry wish I could leave on my own   Cause the longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone   [ ac.guitar - steel ]   We both know that you've never loved me I lied to myself from the start   We both know that someday you'll leave me and the knowing just tears me apart   How long will you prolong my mis'ry...   The longer I'll hurt when you're gone
