[Verse 1]

Last night you gave me a kiss

You didn't know it, but I was awake when you did

You were quiet, you were gonna let me sleep

So I just laid there pretending to be

You said some things you didn't know I could hear

And the words I love you never sounded so sincere


[Chorus]

It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving

Now that I know just how much you care

You finally gave me one good reason not to go

But staying here is my worst fear


[Verse 2]

This morning I rolled out of bed

Recalling all the sweet things you said

This was the day I was gonna hurt you bad

Called out your name, but you didn't answer back

I searched the house to find out what was wrong

Like a ton of bricks, it hit me you were gone


[Chorus]

It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving

Now that I know just how much you care

You finally gave me one good reason not to go

But staying here is my worst fear


[Bridge]

All along I knew that there was something missing

(There was something missing)

And only one thing left to do

I had to leave behind this life that we'd been living

But the only thing that left was you


[Outro]

It's gonna make it hard to tell you that I'm leaving

Now that I know just how much you care

You finally gave me one good reason not to go

But being alone is my worst fear

And staying here is my worst fear
