Loving Means Leaving

(アルバム： A Heart Is a Terrible Thing to Break - 2023)

I never meant to let you down
It's a hell of a road I led you down
And my heart's beating out of my chest
And your hand is in my hand
But it's getting late, gotta get it out

It would be easier to lie
But I hope that you'll see in time

Sometimes loving means leaving
Sometimes people need healing
Sometimes there's no good way to make a wrong thing right
Some things change with the seasons
Sometimes the heart has its reasons
Yeah, sometimes what's good is goodbye

You probably think this was easy for me
Like you don't play the lead in all of my dreams
Like I don't wake up almost every day with
A tear-stained pillow case
A river of tears on my pillowcase
But I'm not trying to make it all about me

Maybe I should've lied
'Cause—God!—it just hurts on the other side

Sometimes loving means leaving
Sometimes people need healing
Sometimes there's no good way to make a wrong thing right
Some things change with the seasons
Sometimes the heart has its reasons
Yeah, sometimes what's good is goodbye

There's a universe where this could've worked and I wish we were in it
'Cause all I know is I broke your heart and I wish that I didn't

But sometimes loving means leaving
Sometimes people need healing
Sometimes there's no good way to make a wrong thing right
And some things change with the seasons
Sometimes the heart has its reasons
Yeah, sometimes what's good is goodbye
Oh, sometimes what's good is goodbye
