Too young to understand why she went away Too old to admit that I wouldn't be okay So I hardened my heart that day I wiped the feelings off my face She said it was her and it wasn't my fault; it wasn't my fault But when somebody leaves, like they all do, it's easy to think that it might be you When somebody leaves, like they all do, it ain't easy His eyes told me we were through and he'd be okay I just looked down as my true love walked away And it hardened my heart that day, but I wiped the feelings off my face He said it was him and it wasn't my fault, it wasn't my fault But when somebody leaves, like they all do, it's easy to think that it might be you When somebody leaves, like they all do, it ain't easy But I will stay strong, and I will stay busy, and I won't lean too much to your side And in July we'll call this freedom And one day this sheen that covers my eyes, it will melt away; it'll fall, drip down by the wayside I just need time This town was feeling so small and I needed space So I packed my things in my blue suitcase, and I drove away But it hardened my heart that day, when he wiped his feelings off his face 'cause he thought it was him, but it wasn't his fault, no, it was just me But when somebody leaves, like we all do, it's so easy to think that it's you When somebody leaves, like we all do, it ain't easy
