Intro: Leaving's hard...trust me, it's really bad It'll shake ya, damn-near break ya, it always has You don't go until you're praying to break even, Until staying's worse than leaving God knows we tried everything that we could do You can keep your pride and blame me if you need to Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason, I know staying's worse than leaving It's gotta get better, it can't get worse Hope it's a blessing not a curse I don't care who passes judgement on my reasons I know staying's worse than leaving It's gotta get better, it can't get worse Hope it's a blessing not a curse I don't care who passes judgement on my reasons I know staying's worse than leaving Both our hearts let go a long time ago Words leave scars and Lord knows they heal slow Our love died but somehow we are both still breathin' I just hope someday we'll look back on this grievin' and say, staying's worse than leaving Yeah, that staying's worse than leaving (slow) Yeah, that staying's... ...worse than leaving
