You took the little gifts I gave as though Afraid each one contained some sort of bribe And so the joy you might have had from someone giving 'Cause they can has been denied And now the frown of discontent upon your face Grows deep and felt with time And I'm gonna leave while I still love you I know there's no way that I can Make up to you for whatever wrong Has caused you all the pain and sorrow That your heart has lived on for so long And the wall you've built between us
Higher now and harder now to climb And I'm gonna leave while I still love you I wish that I could be all the reasons That you need to go on live'n' I wish that I could give you what you want So I can get what I'm not gett'n' But happiness is not a gift That I can bring you tied with pretty ribbons And so before I'm left with only bitterness And memories of bad times Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you Baby I'm gonna leave while I still love you
