Standing Tall

(Larry Butler - Ben Peters)



Everything I tried to do for you, 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

Tonight I'm finally leavin', and I'm leavin' standin' tall.



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

That don't make it fall

Tonight I'm finally leavin', and I'm leavin' standin' tall.



Now I'm picking up the pieces of the heart you've been breaking

I'm down on my knees to try and find them all

And when I get up one long last look

Is all that I'll be takin'

Tonight I'm finally leavin' and I'm leavin' standin' tall.



Tonight I'm finally leavin' and I'm leavin' standin' tall...
