Everything I've tried to do for you
Has always turned out wrong
It took a lot of love inside of me
To keep me here this long
It's too late to dim the lights again
Expecting me to crawl
Cause tonight I'm gonna leave you
And I'm leavin' standing tall.
If I could see inside your mind
I wonder what I'd find
There's something there that's made me come
So close to losin' mine
The tallest tree will sometimes bend
But that don't make it fall
I'm packin' up to leave you
And I'm leavin' standing tall.
Now I'm pickin' up the pieces of the heart
That you've been breakin'
And I'm down on my knees
Just to try to find them all
But when I get up a long last look
Is all that I'll be takin'
Tonight I'm finally leavin'
And I'm leavin' standin' tall
I'm leavin' standin' tall.
