Verse Number One:
Everything I've tried to do
has always turned out wrong
It took a lot of love inside of me
to keep me here this long
It's too late
to dim the lights again
expecting me to crawl
So tonight
I'm gonna leave you
and I'm leaving standing tall
THE CHORUS:
YES, I'M PICKING UP THE PIECES
OF THIS HEART THAT YOU'VE BEEN BREAKING
.
AND, I'M DOWN ON MY KNEES
JUST TO TRY AND FIND THEM ALL
.
BUT WHEN I GET UP
ONE LONG LAST LOOK
IS ALL THAT I'LL BE TAKING
.
SO TONIGHT, I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU
AND, I'M LEAVIN' STANDING TALL
.
Verse Number Two:
If I could see inside your mind
I wonder what I'd find
There's something there
that's made me come so close
to losing mine
The tallest tree
will sometimes bend
but that won't make it fall
I'm packing up to leave you
and I'm leaving standing tall
.
THE CHORUS:
YES, I'M PICKING UP THE PIECES
OF THIS HEART THAT YOU'VE BEEN BREAKING
.
AND, I'M DOWN ON MY KNEES
JUST TO TRY AND FIND THEM ALL
.
BUT WHEN I GET UP
ONE LONG LAST LOOK
IS ALL THAT I'LL BE TAKING
.
SO TONIGHT, I'M GONNA LEAVE YOU
AND, I'M LEAVIN' STANDING TALL
.
Hard Modulation
