Leave (Today is the Day)

I opened 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 way

You crush me to the bone



So goodbye, goodbye



I'm walking away

Said all I can say

Today is the day

I put in my time

Now drawing the line

Today is the day



Look in my soul

You're bleeding me dry

Like a thousand stars falling down

There's no more tears to cry



Even when I walk

With you it's just a crawl

Down on my knees

I'm begging please

Baby, don't take me



So goodbye, goodbye



I'm walking away

Said all I can say

Today is the day

I put in my time

Now drawing the line

Today is the day



But can you tell me

Why it's gotta be, oh, so hard?

Can you tell me

Why it's gotta be, oh, so hard?



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

What I know is that



'Cause I put in my time

Now drawing the line

Today is the day

Today is the day



Can you tell me

Why it's gotta be, oh, so hard

Hard to leave?
