Lyrics Sunday - Cleo Laine

She knew it was wrong
This feeling seems strong
She wishes she could deny it but there's no use
She tried to push the thought away about her ang him together this way

It's killing her cause she can't take away the pain
In his eyes, oh in his eyes

She wipe away the tears, as she saw him walk away
She thought about this she thought about this

Dear Elijah,
It was never my idea
To push you like this,
To push you like this
Dear Elijah,
It was never my intention
To hurt you like this,
To hurt you like this
But this is for the best
Baby, they think this is a mess
I love you Elijah but we can never be
Dear Elijah would you please, would you please
Let me go

She knew from the start,
They couldn't last that long
The ending's still uncertain,
But she have to end this
Missery, Depression is written all over her face
He beg her to stay, he beg her to stay

It's killing her cause she can't take away the pain
In his eyes, oh in his eyes

She wipe away the tears, as she saw him walk away
She thought about this she thought about this

Dear Elijah,
It was never my idea
To push you like this,
To push you like this
Dear Elijah,
It was never my intention
To hurt you like this,
To hurt you like this
But this is for the best
Baby, they think this is a mess
I love you Elijah but we can never be
Dear Elijah,
Would you please,
Would you please

She told him to leave,
She push him away
Tears kept on rolling down their faces
She shouted the words
She never meant to say
She's setting him free but He don't want to be free, he wants to stay

As she saw him walk away, she thought about this,
Ohh she thought about this

Dear Elijah,
It was never my idea
To push you like this,
To push you like this
Dear Elijah,
It was never my intention
To hurt you like this,
To hurt you like this
But this is for the best
Baby, they think this is a mess
I love you Elijah but we can never be
Dear Elijah would you please, would you please
Let me go
