It's not that I don't love you
|
You know how much I do
|
And it's not that I've found someone
|
To take the place of you
|
It's just a fear that builds within me
|
Everytime you touch my hand
|
And a dread that shakes my body
|
That even I don't understand
|
So I'm leaving
|
This time I'm playing it smart
|
I'm gonna walk away from love
|
Before love breaks my heart
|
|
Oh, you're clinging to me tighter
|
Than you ever have before
|
I don't understand it
|
But I know it's gonna take everything I've got
|
To keep walking out the door
|
But those arms you've got around me
|
Will let me go someday
|
And I'd rather leave you holding on
|
Than pushing me away
|
So I'm leaving, yes I am
|
This time I'm playing it smart
|
I'm gonna walk away from love
|
Before love breaks my heart
|
|
So I'm leaving, yes I am
|
This time I'm playing it smart
|
I'm gonna walk away from love
|
Before love breaks my heart
|
Oh, baby
|
It's not that I don't love you
|
You know how much I do
|
Oh, baby
|
I'm leaving, baby
|
This time I'm playing it smart
|
Oh, don't break my heart
|
Oh, I'm walking away, baby
|
Oh, will you let me go
|
I'd rather have you holding on, holding on
|
oh, than pushing me away
|
So I'm leaving
|
I know you're playing it smart
|
Don't you break my heart, baby
|
I'm leaving, baby
|
And it's not that I've found someome new
|
No can take the place of you
|
But I'm leaving
|
This time I'm playing it smart
|
I'm walking away from love
|
