So many times I told you I was leavin' and so many times how I tried Cause sayin' your leavin's so much easier than leavin' and sayin' goodbye Cause every time I'd start to go I wouldn't get ten feet Till I'd go runnin' back like a runaway child who's afraid to cross the street
My mind might tell my lips to say it's over but my heart would only know it's a lie Cause sayin' your leavin's so much easier than leavin' and sayin' goodbye [ guitar - steel ] Cause every time I'd start to go... Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye
