You'd think that I had the guts to leave you A man like me can't stand to sit around When I met you I swore that you were freedom But the strings you've tied they've chained me to the ground [Chorus] But I can't leave you Even though I want to There's something about you makes me stay No I can't leave you Believe me I've tried to So I wake up just a hating everyday Well I promised you that I'd write you a love song It'd be something to bring teardrops to your eyes So far I'm the only one that's crying Writing about this crazy love that died [Chorus] I promised you that I'd write you a love song It'd be something to bring teardrops to your eyes So far I'm the only one that's crying Writing about this crazy love that died 'Cuz I can't leave you Even though I want to There's just something about you sweetheart that makes me stay No I can't leave you Believe me I've tried to So I wake up just a hating every single day That I stay here By my own will 'Cuz I figure darlin' That's what real men do Gotta grin and bare it Don't ever share it They just play guitar And mow the yard And have a drink.
