Merle Haggard - The Longer You Wait lyrics

The longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone And the longer it takes you to break my heart the longer the pain lingers on How long will you prolong my misery wish I could leave on my own Cause the longer you wait to leave me the longer I'll hurt when you're gone We both know that you never loved me I lied to myself from the start We both know that someday you'll leave me and the knowin' just tears me apart How long will you prolong my misery... The longer I'll hurt when you're gone
