We've been down this road before
I can't take it anymore
I have nothing left inside myself to give

Still every time I see your face
I'm falling back into that place
Where everything to me feels like the first time

I want it to be possible
I'm hoping for a miracle
There has to be another way
I don't want to face the truth

How do you leave the one you love?
How do you rise above it all?
Where do I find the strength to make it
Through tomorrow when you're gone?

And what do I tell myself tonight?
How can I ever make it right?
How do you leave?
How do you leave the one you love?

I'm so tired of being strong
I'm so afraid of being wrong
But I don't want to live a lifetime with regrets

So I have to let you go
Walk away now even though
My heart is telling me it's a mistake

But can I ever set you free?
You've been the very heart of me
There has to be another way
I don't want to face the truth

How do you leave the one you love?
How do you rise above it all?
Where do I find the strength to make it
Through tomorrow when you're gone?

And what do I tell myself tonight?
How can I ever make it right?
How do you leave?
How do you leave the one you love?

I want it to be possible
I'm hoping for a miracle
There has to be another way
I don't want to face the truth

How do you leave?
Where do I find the strength to make it
Through tomorrow when you're gone?

And what do I tell myself tonight?
How can I ever make it right?
How do you leave?
How do you leave the one you love?

How do you leave?
How do you leave the one you love?
