Standing Tall

(альбом: Womanhood - 1978)

Ev'rything I've tried to do for you has always turned out wrong
It took a lot of love inside of me to keep me here this long
It's too late to dim the lights again expecting me to crawl
Cause tonight I'm gonna leave you and I'm leaving standing tall

If I could see inside your mind I wonder what I'd find
There's something there that's made me come so close to losing mine
The tallest tree will sometimes bend but that won't make it fall
I'm packing it up to leave you and I'm leaving standing tall

Now I'm picking up the pieces of the heart that you've been breaking
And I'm down on my knees just to try to find them all
But when I get up one long last look is all that I'll be taking
Cause tonight I'm finally leaving and I'm leaving standing tall
Yes tonight I'm gonna leave you and I'm leaving standing tall
