Sara Phillips Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh I don't want this night to end
I know you're leaving in the morning
And my heart will break all over again
And I wish you would stay here
Be the one who doesn't leave
Don't wanna spend forever waiting
Cause I hate this house when you go
And I hate you for leaving me alone
And I hate that I love you more than anything I've ever known
And I don't ever tell you
That it kills me to watch you leave
Cause I love you and all your big dreams
Just hate that they take you from me
Cause I hate this house when you go
And I hate you for leaving me alone
And I hate that I love you more than anything I've ever known
Cause there's no right way to hold a rolling stone
There's no right way to hold a rolling stone
There's no right way to hold a rolling stone
There's no right way to hold a rolling stone
But I hate this house when you go
And I hate you for leaving me alone
And I hate that I love you more than anything I've ever known
I hate this house when you go
And I hate you for leaving me alone
And I hate that I love you more than anything I've ever known
I hate it
I hate it
I hate it
I hate this house when you go
And I hate you for leaving me alone
And I hate that I love you more than anything I've ever known
I hate it
