These eyes, I never saw you leavin'
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go
And our life is the greatest story never told

How many more ways can I explain this to you, boy?
We have had this conversation several times before
I will except nothing less than your complete respect
If you cannot give me that then maybe I should step

These eyes never saw you leavin'
This heart is in need of some healing, yeah
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told

All this cryin', all this fightin', simply ain't my style
Though you're one of the most important people in my life
I love you from the day we met, I know you love me too
But at this point, walking away is the best thing we can do

These eyes never saw you leavin'
This heart is in need of some healing, yeah
These arms are letting you go
Our life is the greatest story never told

Are we meant to be man and wife?
The answer I don't know
Of life's many mystery's
What intrigues me the most

Is who our children would have been
I guess we'll never know
Even as I walk away I'll always keep the hope

These eyes never saw you leavin'
This heart is in need of some healing
These arms are letting you go that's life

That's the way the story goes
(Truth is)
Every relationship is a lesson, yeah
(Truth is)
I saw it coming but it hurts anyway

(Truth is)
I'm not the reason you're so angry
(Truth is)
you're not the reason I'm so passive

(Truth is)
I've got to take back my power
(Truth is)
The reason why it hurts so bad to walk away from you

These eyes, I never saw you leavin'
This heart my heart is in need of some healing
These arms, these arms are letting you go
That's life, the greatest story never told

(These eyes)
(This heart)
Is in need of your healing
(These arms)
Are letting you go
(That's life)
The greatest story never told

Our love, the greatest story never told
Our life is the greatest story never told
Our love is the greatest story never told
That's life and that's the way the story goes
