So many times I've told you I was leavin'
And oh so many times how I have tried
But sayin' your leavin's so much easier
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye

Every time I'd start to go
I wouldn't get ten feet
I'd go runnin' back like a runaway child
That's afraid to cross the street

And my mind might tell my lips to say, it's over
My heart would only say, it's a lie
And sayin' your leavin's so much easier
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye
