So many times I've told you I was leavin' And so many times how I tried But sayin' you're leavin' is so much easier Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye 'Cause every time I'd start to go I wouldn't get ten feet Till I come 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 say it's a lie 'Cause sayin' you're leavin' is so much easier Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye 'Cause every time I'd start to go I wouldn't get ten feet Till I come 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 say it's a lie 'Cause sayin' you're leavin' is so much easier Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye
