"Leavin' Is" Lyrics

I thought I had a way to tell you how I feel
Now I'm here with you, girl, it don't seem real
Got a man and a woman and a love that went wrong
Ooh, our love, I thought, girl, was so strong

Darling, your eyes are crying
But it's too late to make for denying

I can't be the one you want
I can't be the one you need
No, babe, though it will be hard, but it's true
I can't say the things you wanted me to say to you

Leaving is the best thing I can do
Leaving is the best thing I can do

I thought with time we'd grow and these things would pass
Somehow we'd find the love we used to have
'Cause I remember your pretty face in a different time
Mmm, you know it, I love you here in my mind

Now I know you're gonna be grieving
But, listen, you'll find someone, someone to believe in

I can't be the one you want
I can't be the one you need
No, babe, though it will be hard, but it's true, oh yeah
I can't say the things you wanted me to say to you

Leaving is the best thing I can do (oh girl)
Leaving is the best thing I can do
