I opened my heart
Gave you a home
I built you up a temple
To keep you safe and warm

But under the sand
You became stone
And I couldn't carry all the way
You crush me to the bone

So goodbye, goodbye

I'm walking away
Said all I can say
Today is the day
I put in my time
Now drawing the line
Today is the day

Look in my soul
You're bleeding me dry
Like a thousand stars falling down
There's no more tears to cry

Even when I walk
With you it's just a crawl
Down on my knees
I'm begging please
Baby, don't take me

So goodbye, goodbye

I'm walking away
Said all I can say
Today is the day
I put in my time
Now drawing the line
Today is the day

But can you tell me
Why it's gotta be, oh, so hard?
Can you tell me
Why it's gotta be, oh, so hard?

Hard, hard to leave
To leave, to leave, to leave

I'm walking away
Said all I can say
Today is the day
I gotta hold on tight
What I know is that

'Cause I put in my time
Now drawing the line
Today is the day
Today is the day

Can you tell me
Why it's gotta be, oh, so hard
Hard to leave?
