It won't be hard to say goodbye I've seen this road before
And I've survived through every bend
You're just a page I need to turn and I'll be on my way
For me it's over not the end
Why should I stay and fight another lonely night?
I've got no reason to pretend
You lied too many times and I've got too much pride
To let myself be fooled again
So if I turn you away, it's really nothing more
Than my way to say that it's over
If I turn you away, you'll know the reason why
I just couldn't stay anymore
Somewhere a stranger waits for me with eyes to warm my soul
His arms will hold me night and day
You taught me everything I know 'bout breaking hearts and so
I think it's time for me to say
You've had your way too long and I've been oh so wrong
To be a fool and not be gone
I'll tell you here and now, I'll make it through somehow
I'll find it easy to go on
So if I turn you away, it's really nothing more
Than my way to say that it's over
If I turn you away, you'll know the reason why
I just couldn't stay anymore
You lied too many times and I've got too much pride
To let myself be fooled again
So if I turn you away, it's really nothing more
Than my way to say that it's over
If I turn you away, you'll know the reason why
I just couldn't stay anymore
So if I turn you away, it's really nothing more
Than my way to say that it's over
If I turn you away, (if I turn you away) you'll know the reason why
I just couldn't stay anymore
So if I turn you away (turn you away) , it's really nothing more
Than my way to say that it's over
If I turn you away, you'll know the reason why
I just couldn't stay anymore
And I've survived through every bend
You're just a page I need to turn and I'll be on my way
For me it's over not the end
Why should I stay and fight another lonely night?
I've got no reason to pretend
You lied too many times and I've got too much pride
To let myself be fooled again
So if I turn you away, it's really nothing more
Than my way to say that it's over
If I turn you away, you'll know the reason why
I just couldn't stay anymore
Somewhere a stranger waits for me with eyes to warm my soul
