Brian Webb - Leaving Atlanta lyrics

She said, "I love you" like an apology to herself. Or maybe it was for me I could not tell But she said it like she should have known better She said "I'll miss you" like some kind of promise made from her head to her heart not to forget that these were soft hands And she said "I'd wait for you like a widow waits for sleep" to hold a lover that she grieves And a life together that they'de weaved But more, she waits like I was something to be waited for (Chorus) While I am leaving Atlanta I am leaving this home I am leaving Atlanta I was already gone But she holds on to hope like its something she thinks she should keep and So 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 town you have made your whole life in." Well I just sent you a letter. I guess it will be at least 3 days to 'til you know your heart has been broken (Chorus) And she said "I'd wait for you like a widow waits for sleep" to hold a lover that she grieves And a life together that they'de weaved But more, she waits like I was something to be waited for (Chorus)
