(Mary Chapin Carpenter/John Jennings)
|
This is your voice of reason
|
This is your voice of calm
|
This is your heart that's speaking
|
Saying the time has come
|
Here is your pride and grace now
|
Here is your strengh and soul
|
Everything's at the ready, you're finally good to go
|
Now tell him there's one last thing that you forgot to do
|
This is me leaving you, this is me leaving you
|
|
He told you to try believing (don't you worry)
|
He asked you to keep the faith (or keep guessing)
|
He took all that you were giving (don't be sorry)
|
As if it all were his to take (you're progressing)
|
Now it's the truth that won't let go (don't you doubt it)
|
Now it's the facts that you can't shake (and don't fear it)
|
Now it's just time to let him know (each new step is)
|
You made a big mistake (one more near it)
|
Maybe these final words will offer up a clue
|
This is me leaving you, this is me leaving you
|
This is me baby, breaking us in two
|
This is me leaving you
|
|
I'm your better half
|
Baby that's a laugh
|
|
This is your voice of reason
|
This is your voice of calm
|
This is your heart that's speaking
|
Don't look back, just keep on going
|
This is me leaving you, this is me leaving you
|
This is me leaving you, this is me leaving you
|
