Guess I'd known that I was loosing you But I never asked you why Thought I could live with your goodbye Time would pass and I'd get over you It would be easy to go on Baby, I was wrong, so wrong Cause knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' you're gone As long as you were leavin' I never had to face the night alone And I could tell myself on the day you went away I could watch you go and still be strong Knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' that you're gone I almost laughed to think the fool I was I can't fill this empty space There's just no one to take your place And as lonely days pass into silent nights I realize that from now on you're not leaving Now you're gone and I was wrong Cause knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' you're gone As long as you were leavin' I never had to face the night alone And I could tell myself on the day you went away I can watch you go and still be strong But knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' that you're gone And knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' that you're gone
