I open my heart
Gave you a home
I built you up a temple
To keep you safe and warm
But under the sand
You became stone
And I couldn?t carry all the weight
You crushed me to the bone
So goodbye, goodbye?

(CHORUS)
I?m walking away
Said all I can say
Today is the day
I put in my time
Now I?m drawing the line
Today is the day

Well look at my soul
You?re bleeding me dry
Like a thousand stars falling down
There?s no more tears to cry
Well even when I walk
With you it?s just a crawl
Down on my knees
I?m begging please
Baby don?t take me all
So goodbye, goodbye?

(Chorus)

But can you tell me
Why it?s gotta be
So hard
Can you tell me
Why it?s gotta be
So hard, hard to leave
To leave..to leave....to leave

I?m walking away
Said all I can say
Today is the day
I gotta hold on tight when I know what?s right
Cause I put in my time
Now I?m drawing the line
Today is the day
Today is the day

Can you tell me
Why it's gotta be
so hard, hard to leave
