Faron Young lyrics

So many times I've told you I was leavin'
And so many times, how I tried.
But sayin' you're leavin's so much easier
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye

Cause every time I start to go I wouldn't get ten feet
Till I'd 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's so much easier
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye.

Cause every time I start to go I wouldn't get ten feet
Till I'd 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's so much easier
Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye.

Than leavin' and sayin' goodbye.
