I won’t stay here on this mountain
There’s a world out there to see
I don't know but how I wonder
What is waiting there for me

Afraid you could not follow
If I wander from this land
You never told me not to gamble
So I hope you understand
If I leave you

I don’t care to try and tease you
Make you play my selfish game
I'd much rather that it please you
When I take your name in vain

Chorus
If I leave you
Will you find me
When I’m lonesome and afraid
Could you love me more for leaving
Then you would if I remained
If I leave you...

Disobeyed you so you'd see me
So I'd stand out in your crowd
Now do I have your full attention
Can’t you see that I am proud?

Chorus
If I leave you
Will you find me
When I’m lonesome and afraid
Could you love me more for leaving
Then you would if I remained
If I leave you…
