Brian Webb - Leaving Atlanta Lyrics
She said, "I love you" like an apologyto herself. Or maybe it was for meI could not tellBut she said it like she should have known betterShe said "I'll miss you" like some kind of promisemade from her head to her heartnot to forgetthat these were soft handsAnd she said "I'd wait for youlike a widow waits for sleep"to hold a lover that she grievesAnd a life together that they'de weavedBut more, she waits like I was somethingto be waited for[Chorus]While I am leaving AtlantaI am leaving this homeI am leaving AtlantaI was already goneBut she holds on to hopelike its something she thinks she should keep andSo she starts making it hard for me to leave,"Well if its any consolation", she said,"Its a lot harder to be left"And she said, "it's hard to live in this townyou have made your whole life in."Well I just sent you a letter. I guess it will be at least3 days to 'til you know your heart has been broken[Chorus]And she said "I'd wait for youlike a widow waits for sleep"to hold a lover that she grievesAnd a life together that they'de weavedBut more, she waits like I was somethingto be waited for[Chorus]
