So anyway, I'm leaving I thought you'd like to know You're faithful, come-what-may But clearly, I can't stay We'd both go mad that way So here I go And anyway, I'm leaving I guess that you can see I'll try this on my own A life I've never known I'll face the dread alone But I'll be free With you always beside me to catch me when I fall I'd never get to know the feel of solid ground at all With you always believing that we can still come through It makes me feel the fool to know that it's not true What doctors call dysfunction we tried to call romance And true, it's quite a trick to tell the dancers from the dance But rather than let chance take me, I'll take a chance I'll take a chance on leaving It's that, or stay and die I loved you once, and though You love me still, I know It's time for me to fly I loved you once, and though I love you still, I know It's time for me to go And so, goodbye
