It's no use to try to place the blame   And say who has been wrong   Even though we know it's over   Flames of love still linger on   And both knowing that goodbyes to what we had   Are soon to come   Leavin' is a whole lot harder   Than bein' gone      It's not easy to walk away from arms I know I'll miss   Bein' near you, I still want your touch   And your tender kiss   Knowing that I can't replace the love   For you, still beating strong   Leavin' is a whole lot harder   Than bein' gone      Memories of lovin' you will walk the hallways of my mind   But they say the past will fade into   A dream that's lost in time   Still I find it hard to break the chains   From lovin' you so long   Leavin' is a whole lot harder   Than bein' gone      It's not easy to walk away from arms I know I'll miss   Bein' near you, I still want your touch   And your tender kiss   Knowing that I can't replace the love   For you, still beating strong   Leavin' is a whole lot harder   Than bein' gone   Leavin' is a whole lot harder   Than bein' gone
