Leaving is the longest word I ever learned
|
In the time it takes to say it, the whole world has turned
|
If a heartbeat lasts a lifetime then I've lived before
|
`cause I remember standing at this open door
|
|
[Chorus:]
|
This path is not the one I'd choose to travel
|
Even as we watch what tied us unravel
|
And the tears fall like rain
|
Deeper than crying, the loving still remains
|
|
Neither wants to be the one to say goodbye
|
And neither wants to be the one who's left to cry
|
But in our secret heart of hearts we both know
|
That the time for patching up has passed and it's time to go
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
So I'll be the one to pull our tangled lives apart
|
I won't dodge the angry words that hide a broken heart
|
And my calm fare-thee-wells cannot obscure
|
That deep inside, my heart is also hurtin' so
|
|
[Chorus]
|
