Leave Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Nobody knows, nobody sees
That what you can do when you're displeased
Which is most of the time
Not me
Yeah hear my plea, leave

[Verse 2]
Go away, to stay
Get out of my life, you have a wife
I'm free to choose
To be
Yeah hear, my plea, leave

[Bridge]
You will be sorry
When you wake up tomorrow
And you leave my love
I won't speak, my love
You won't accept the fact
That I'm not ready for the step above
Forever love

[Verse 3]
By the look, on your face
Decided to make it to another place
I'll see you around
My sweet
Won't you please hear my plea, leave
Alright
[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
You will be sorry
When you wake up tomorrow
And you leave my love
I won't speak, my love
You won't accept the fact
That I'm not ready for the step above
Forever love

[Verse 3]
By the look on your face
Decided to make it to another place
I'll see you around
My sweet
Won't you please hear my plea, leave

[Verse 4]
Ah, nobody knows, nobody sees
That what you can do when you're displeased
Which is most of the time
Not me
Won't you please hear, my plea
Look what you're doin' to me
Won't you please hear my plea, leave

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
