When She Wakes Up (And Finds Me Gone) Lyrics - Tim McGraw

1 With a trembling pen in hand I try the best I can

2 To write all the reasons I can't stay

3 And I hope she'll understand I can't leave her like a man

4 'Cause a man would never leave her this way

5 A note of things I should've said

6 Lays beside her sleeping head

7 As I turn and make my way off in the night

8 By the time the morning's breaking

9 My heart will still be aching

10 Every time I think of what I've left behind

11 'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes

12 And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry

13 And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong

14 So I don't want to be here in the morning

15 When she wakes up and finds me gone

16 It hurts to know how much she'll hurt

17 I've told myself things could be worse

18 And I've convinced myself she's better off this way

19 By the time she finds I'm gone

20 I'll be a long, long way from home

21 When she reads a note of things I couldn't say

22 'Cause I don't want to see me leaving in her eyes

23 And I can't stand to watch her watch me make her cry

24 And I don't know a right way I can do her wrong

25 So I don't want to be here in the morning

26 When she wakes up and finds me gone

27 Lord I don't want to be here in the morning

28 When she wakes up and finds me gone
