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
