Don’t Go

[Verse 1]
It took a while to call you, but here I am
Ready, so I think, to see this through
Surely you must realize, I’m afraid to face the man
That made me what I am, but not who
Forgiveness is a given, I have learned from your mistakes
But to watch you come and go again is more than I can take

[Chorus]
'Cause I fall, you fall
Forgive, forget, whatever, we’ll just work it out
That’s all I care, I’m here
Promise me just one thing and I’ll show
Don’t go

[Verse 2]
The baseball glove you left me, I broke it in just right
Afraid it doesn’t fit my hand no more
But it’s still playing short stop and catching infield flies
On a grandson that you’ve never seen before
Oh, by the way, his name is Martin, asks about you all the time
I try and tell him stories, even if they’re lies

[Chorus]
'Cause I fall, you fall
Forgive, forget, whatever, we’ll just work it out
That’s all I care, I’m here
Promise me just one thing and I’ll show
Don’t go

[Bridge]
I played this scene a thousand times over in my head
I’ve worn out every angle, every lie
For twenty years I never knew a reason why you left
Ain’t it funny how right now, it’s the last thing on my mind

[Chorus]
'Cause I fall, you fall
Forgive, forget, whatever, we’ll just work it out
That’s all I care, I’m here
There is just so much I need to know
So don’t go
Don’t go
