These Eyes

These eyes never saw you leavin' This heart is in need of some healing These arms are letting you go And our life is the greatest story never told How many more ways can I explain this to you, boy? We had had this conversation several times before I will accept nothing less than your complete respect If you cannot give me that, then maybe I should step [Chorus] These eyes never saw you leavin' This heart is in need of some healing These arms are letting you go Our life is the greatest story never told All this cryin', all this fightin' simply ain't my style Though you're one of the most important people in my life I love you from the day we met, I know you love me, too But at this point, walking away is the best thing we can do [Chorus] Are we meant to be man and wife? The answer I don't know Of life's many mystery's, what intrigues me the most Is who our children would have been; I guess we'll never know (never know) Even as I walk away I'll always keep the hope These eyes never saw you leavin' This heart is in need of some healing These arms are letting you go That's life That's the way the story goes (Truth is) every relationship is a lesson (Truth is) I saw it coming but it hurts anyway (Truth is) I'm not the reason you're so angry (Truth is) you're not the reason I'm so passive Truth is (I've got to take back the power) Truth is The reason why it hurts so bad to walk away from you (These eyes) I never saw you leavin' (This heart) My heart is in need of some healing (These arms) These arms are letting you go (That's life) The greatest story never told (These eyes) (This heart) I'm in need of your healing (These arms) I'm letting you go (That's life) The greatest story never told (Our love) The greatest story never told Our life is the greatest story never told Our love is the greatest story never told (That's life) And that's the way the story goes
