Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow, why'd I treat you so bad?
I should've known, one day, that you'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that I'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that we'd be
[Verse 2]
Why did it have to be this way? Baby, all you had to say
Was that you were sick and tired of the man I became to be
But you planned a great escape, bright and early, before I wake
We both knew we had to break, but you could've chose a better way
[Verse 3]
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow, why'd I treat you so bad?
I should've known, one day, that you'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that I'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that we'd be
[Verse 4]
It was cold the way you left, still the pain is in my chest
Because in my heart, I felt you should've came and talked to me
If you put away your pride, and look deep into my eyes
It would've been to your surprise that I got up to apologize
But you were gone
[Verse 5]
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow, why'd I treat you so bad?
I should've known, one day, that you'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that I'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that we'd be
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow, why'd I treat you so bad?
I should've known, one day, that you'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that I'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that we'd be
(Gotta leave, gotta leave, gotta go back, my baby)
[Verse 6]
Oh, I thought we had forever, now it's gone, it's time to carry on
I thought that you made me happy
But it's this thing that's come between us, girl
At one time you were my world, now it seems it's gone away, it's gone away
[Verse 7]
Woke up in the morning, you were not there
All I seen was an imprint of your head
In my pillow, weeping willow, why'd I treat you so bad?
I should've known, one day, that you'd be gone
You should've known, one day, that I'd be gone
