lyrics

You pack it up, you move it on,
You said all the things worth saying
She understood, you knew she would,
It feels so good to know she's not staying

She'll go on without you, she'll miss you
In a way that's not crazy
And she won't say "later this may work"
And you don't say "maybe"

But that's a dream, it always seems like someone leaves
Someone else crying
She can't understand it's not your plan, it's not like man
You weren't trying
When you've got these feelings then you don't need
Reasons to sell her
You know what to say but you can't find the way to
Go on and tell her

How do you say leave?
How do you go?
Why would you say yes when you really mean no?
How do you hold ground when she's holding your hand?
Why don't you jump when you know where you'll land?

How do you say leave?
How do you say leave?
How do you say leave?

Well things were, well good enough
But what's enough? I want better
You heard her say that she's afraid while she's away
You'll go and forget her
But you can't foresee where the future will be by this evening
And telling a lie will sure get you by 'til you're leaving

How do you say leave?
How do you go?
Why would you say yes when you really mean no?
How do you hold ground when she's holding your hand?
Why don't you jump when you know where you'll land?

How do you say leave?
How do you say leave?
How do you say leave?
How do you say leave?
