What If I Leave Lyrics
Oh why don't you call when you say you will my dear?
Is it because I don't belong to you
Anymore
And why don't you come when you say you will my dear?
Do you really think it will work out wrong?
Oh and you've been lost and I've been saved
Is that what comes from giving away?
Maybe in time you will come back along to greet me
What if I leave...
Why don't you call?
Don't you miss me at all?
Left a long long time ago to where the weather was better for his kind
Why won't you play?
You've gone and lost your face
I may be a fool all along but I never understood these rules
Oh and every street calls your name
A whispering ghost of neighborhood flame
Maybe in time you will wake up to find you're free
What if I leave...
So I grow up longing for another
With the windy city left behind to my lover
Will you ever know the way I cry?
You were gone that day so you may have missed
my goodbye
Oh and sometimes in my dreams I hear you say,
"If you really care you won't go away"
What if I leave...
Is it because I don't belong to you
Anymore
Do you really think it will work out wrong?
Is that what comes from giving away?
Maybe in time you will come back along to greet me
Don't you miss me at all?
Left a long long time ago to where the weather was better for his kind
You've gone and lost your face
I may be a fool all along but I never understood these rules
A whispering ghost of neighborhood flame
Maybe in time you will wake up to find you're free
With the windy city left behind to my lover
Will you ever know the way I cry?
You were gone that day so you may have missed
my goodbye
"If you really care you won't go away"

Sometimes you wonder if you did something drastic, or just disappeared...would he notice? Would he come looking for you THEN?
It's a beautiful song - it conveys the heartache and loneliness and yearning in the perfect way.
Is he stoic and not loving her the way she craves? (Why don't you call? Don't you miss me at all?)
or
Is she the other woman in an affair? (Oh why don't you call when you say you will my dear? is it because I don't belong to you)
