"Don't Leave Me Now" lyrics

"Don't Leave Me Now"

I've been a liar, I've been untrue, I've compromised myself
But I'll make it up to you
I'll beg your forgiveness, hand on my heart
To shatter your faith in me, has torn my whole apart

Don't leave me now
I don't know how much more I can say
Don't leave me now
There's no right way, there's no wrong way
There's only your way

In spite of all the shame on me I'll shoulder all the blame
You'll see a different man
I pledge my very soul to you I'll die before I ever do you wrong again
Life has very simple laws to profit from the pain you cause
A man must pay
Heaven knows if time will close the book on how this story goes
I'd dare not say

Don't leave me now
In time I can set this thing right
Don't leave me now
On a different night, in a different light
I can make it right

Don't leave me now
(In time I can set this thing straight)
Don't leave me now
(I'll make it worth the wait)
Don't leave me now
(I know I that could change my fate please tell me that it's not too late)
Don't leave me now
This mistake I made, will someday fade, into evenings shade
