The Longer You Wait

Merle Haggard

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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 knowing just tears me apart

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
The longer I'll hurt when you're gone
