Lyrics
Leavin' and Sayin' Goodbye Copyright 2005
It would have been easier for you and for me
For you to just get away
From everything you believe is tying you down
And everything that's making me stay
You could have packed up and walked out
And left me alone to worry and I'm wondering why
You had to be here and make me go through watching you
Leavin' and sayin' goodbye
What have I done to make you feel that you
Have to make it so painful and slow
Is it not enough for you knowing you're taking
The best part of me when you go
You could have packed up and walked out
And left me alone to worry and I'm wondering why
You had to be here and make me go through watching you
Leavin' and sayin' goodbye
Oh leavin' and sayin' goodbye
