Lyrics I Have to Leave - Warren Zevon

This time I have to leave
It′s all too clear, it's plain to see
No use in hangin′ 'round
Like a dog that cries and growls
This time I have to leave

Did you hear that I'm attached?
I′m on a dead end path
Can′t you see it hurts me so?
But I really got to go
This time I have to leave

I'm gonna disappear
Stayed too long, I′ll shake my tears
You gave your all, we weren't shy
So thanks again, it′s been nice
This time I have to leave

It's all to clear, it′s plain to see
No use in hanging 'round
They tell me I'm outta bounds
This time I have to leave

Well, it looks as though I′ll be gone for a while
So try not to get too riled
There′ll be another time when we can unwind
But I got to get it on down the line

This time I have to leave
It's all too clear, it′s plain to see
No use in hanging 'round
You′ll get by somehow
This time I have to leave

But love won't go away
I′m feelin' I got to stay
And go on livin' a lie
With you I know there′s no goodbye

This time I have to leave
It′s all too clear, it's plain to see
No use in hanging ′round
After all, anyway, anyhow
This time I have to leave
