When The Morning Comes (Response to Samantha 's "Honey On The Tile")

[Verse 1] Sunlight creeping through the curtains, night is almost done Suitcase by the doorway, time to greet the sun You’re sleeping on the pillow, breathing soft and slow But I can’t keep on lying, it’s time for me to go [Pre-Chorus] I whisper to the shadows, I’m sorry for the pain We’ve been chasing feelings that just won’t come again I’ve packed up all the memories, the right and all the wrong I stayed here for a lifetime, I stayed here far too long [Chorus] I gotta go, baby, when the morning comes This love’s been breaking down for far too long I gotta leave, baby, when the day is new This has gone on, gone on far too long with you [Verse 2] Coffee on the counter, turning cold and gray Promises and plans we made keep fading day by day Your picture on the dresser, smiling like before But we can’t keep pretending what our hearts don’t feel no more [Pre-Chorus] I’m talking to the silence, confessing every doubt We tried to heal the cracks, but the fire’s burning out Our songs turned into echoes, a slowly dying song We danced around the truth here, we danced here far too long [Chorus] I gotta go, baby, when the morning comes This love’s been breaking down for far too long I gotta leave, baby, when the day is new This has gone on, gone on far too long with you [Bridge] Maybe on some distant night You’ll find a stronger, sweeter light Someone who can stay and hold you tight Not a restless soul who walks away at sunrise [Chorus] I gotta go, baby, when the morning comes This love’s been breaking down for far too long I gotta leave, baby, when the day is new This has gone on, gone on far too long with you [Outro] I gotta go, baby, when the morning comes (when the morning comes) This has gone on, gone on far too long (far too long) I gotta go, baby, when the morning comes (when the morning comes) This has gone on, gone on far too long Far too long Far too long
