If Leaving Me Is Easy

If leaving me is easy

Then you know coming back is harder

If leaving me is easy

Then you know coming back is harder



If leaving me is easy

Then you know coming back is harder

If leaving me is easy

Then you know coming back is harder



I read all your letters

I read each word that you've sent to me though it's past now

And your words start to fade

All the memories I have still remain



I've kept all the pictures

I hide my feelings so no one knows no one

Oh sure my friends all come round

But I'm in a crowd I'm on my own

'Cause you're gone though your heart heart still remains

And it'll be here if you come again



You see I'd heard the rumors

I knew before you let me know you let me know

But I didn't believe it

You would not let me go

Seems I was wrong and I love you love you the same

And that's the one thing that you can't take away



So just remember

(I love you)

(Remember I love you)



If leaving me is easy

Then you know coming back is harder

If leaving me is easy

Then you know coming back is harder
