Lyrics of Leavin' and sayin' goodbye

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
