So many times I told you I was leavin'   And so many times how I tried   'Cause sayin' you're 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' you're 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' you're leavin's so much easier   Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye   Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye
