Lyrics

You Can Only Leave Me Once
By Gary Skankey

You cut my heart strings, with your sharp words, said you felt tied down
Couldn't help feeling, every tear burn I cried as' you move out of town
Now you say that, since you've been gone I've hijacked your dreams at night
You think you'll come back, like ain't a thing wrong and it'll be all right
Let me shed some light...

You can't raise the dead
Or resurrect my trust
Oh the deed is done
Now I don't believe in us
Where's my faith in you?
Well, it's fatally crushed,
You can only leave me once
You can only leave me once

I can see here, you never opened, that Love For Dummies book that you had
'Cause then you'd know that...
Like a mirror, if love's broken, and you glue it back you still see the cracks
My fractured heart feels, a second chance, will see you go cold again
So here's the whole deal, no more romance, not even let's just be friends
'Cause, you don't understand...

I tore up your pictures, and shredded your letters
Every breath I spent on you is gone, gone, long gone for ever
So do you get the point?...

You can't raise the dead
Or resurrect my trust
Oh the deed is done
Now I don't believe in us
Where's my faith in you?
Well, it's fatally crushed,
You can only leave me once

You can't raise the dead
Or resurrect my trust
Oh the deed is done
Now I don't believe in us
Where's my faith in you?
Well, it's fatally crushed,
You can only leave me once
You can only leave me once

You cut my heart strings
