Leaving's hard, trust me, it's really bad It'll shake you, damn near break you, it always has You don't go until you're praying to break even, Until staying is worse than leaving God knows we tried everything that we could do You can keep your pride and blame me if you need to Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason, I know staying is worse than leaving It's gotta get better, it can't get worse Hope it's a blessing not a curse I don't care who passes judgment on my reasons I know staying is worse than leaving It's gotta get better, it can't get worse Hope it's a blessing not a curse I don't care who passes judgment on my reasons I know staying is worse than leaving Both our hearts let go a long time ago Words leave scars and Lord knows they heal slow Our love died but somehow we are both still breathing I just hope someday we'll look back on this grieving And say, staying is worse than leaving Yeah, that staying is worse than leaving Yeah, that staying is Worse than leaving
