Leave Right Now Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm here just like I said
Though it's breaking every rule I've ever made
My racing heart is just the same
Why make it strong to break it once again?

[Pre-Chorus]
And I'd love to say I do
Give everything to you
But I can never now be true so I say

[Chorus]
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

[Verse 3]
I'm here so please explain
Why you're opening up a healing wound again
I'm a little more careful
Perhaps it shows
But if I lose the highs at least I'm spared the lows

[Pre-Chorus]
And I would tremble in your arms
What could be the harm?
To feel my spirit calm
So I say

[Chorus]
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now

[Bridge]
I wouldn't know how to say
How good it feels seeing you today
I see you've got your smile back
Like you say, you're right on track
But you may never know why
Once bitten twice is shy
If I'm proud perhaps I should explain
I couldn't bear to lose you again

[Chorus]
I think I better leave right now
Before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
Feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me how
Before I fall any deeper
I think I'd better leave right now
Yes, I will
I think I better leave right now, I'm feeling weaker and weaker
Somebody better show me out before I fall any deeper
I think I better leave right now
