What If I Leave - Rachael Yamagata

Oh why don’t you call

when you say you will my dear

Is it because I don’t belong to you

Anymore

And why don’t you come

when you say you will my dear

Do you really think it will work out wrong

Oh and you’ve been lost

and I’ve been saved

Is that what comes from giving away

Maybe in time you will come back along

to greet me What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

Why don’t you call?

Don’t you miss me at all?

Left a long long time ago

to where the weather was better

for his kind

Why won’t you play?

You’ve gone and left your face

I may be a fool all along

but I never understood these rules

Oh and every street calls your name

A whispering ghost of neighborhood flame

Maybe in time you will wake up to find you’re free

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

So I grow up longing for another

With the windy city left behind to my lover

Will you ever know the way I cry

You were gone that day, so you may have missed

my goodbye

Oh, and sometimes in my dreams I hear you say

«If you really care you won’t go away»

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?

What if I leave?
