I Thought You Would Leave Your Heart With Me

Rita Guerra

I still have both hands over old photographs

To remind me of the laughter, and tears

Times we made love, are more than enough,

To count them on my souvenirs



But the one thing I had, I'm missing most,

Is the one thing I can't seem to find



I thought you would leave your heart with me

And that part of you is all I need

And someday you'd reappear,

'Cause you knew you left it here

The only place it could ever be

I thought I could watch you walk away

Knowing somewhere down the road you'd say:

'It was all a big mistake, it was more than you could take',

I thought you would leave your heart with me...



I was sure you were mine, just a matter of time

Until I heard your knock at my door

But I'm facing the facts, you're not coming back,

'Cause there's nothing to come back here for



All that I know, I can't keep on living a lie,

Oh, but darling... I can't hide the truth



I thought you would leave your heart with me

And that part of you is all I need

And someday you'd reappear,

'Cause you knew you left it here

The only place it could ever be



And if I only knew, what I know now,

I would have never let you go, I'd still be holding on somehow...



I thought I could watch you walk away

Knowing somewhere down the road you'd say:

'It was all a big mistake, it was more than you could take',

I thought you would leave your heart with me...



I thought you would leave your heart with me...
