When She Wakes Up and Finds Me Gone by Trent Tomlinson Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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

[Verse 2]
But, no, the things I should have 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

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna see me leaving in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don't know the right way I can do her wrong
So I don't wanna be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone
[Verse 3]
It hurts to know how much she'll hurt
Told myself things could be worse
And I 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 the note of things I couldn’t say

[Chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna see me leaving in her eyes
And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry
And I don’t know the right way I can do her wrong
So I don't wanna be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone
Lord, I don't wanna be here in the morning
When she wakes up and finds me gone, oh
Ooh, yeah
