Don't Leave Just Yet
Needtobreathe · Daylight [2006]
It's proof without a doubt
You give up everything you have to get what you want
And I know I don't separate
But my sins are in the way
And I know you don't let me get away too far
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I've begged for one more chance
About a million times and I
Come back and knock you for forgiveness again
It's easy to forget
The glory in the way we met
But you always remind me of the love we had
Let's give this one more chance before we say goodbye
Don't leave just yet
I was mistaken
My hands are tied and my time is wasting
I just want you to know that I need you now
Don't leave just yet
Cause we're all just the same
We all take the back door
We might be to blame
But I'll be the one to change
I don't wanna come back to see you get away
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let's give this one more chance before we say goodbye
Don't leave just yet
I was mistaken
My hands are tied and my time is wasting
I just want you to know that I need you now
Don't leave just yet
Oh, oh, oh, don't leave
Don't Leave Just Yet
