We've been down this road before 
I can't take it anymore 
I have nothing left inside myself to give 

Still every time I see your face 
I'm falling back into that place 
Where everything to me feels like the first time 

I want it to be possible 
I'm hoping for a miracle 
There has to be another way 
I don't want to face the truth 

How do you leave the one you love? 
How do you rise above it all? 
Where do I find the strength to make it 
Through tomorrow when you're gone? 

And what do I tell myself tonight? 
How can I ever make it right? 
How do you leave? 
How do you leave the one you love? 

I'm so tired of being strong 
I'm so afraid of being wrong 
But I don't want to live a lifetime with regrets 

So I have to let you go 
Walk away now even though 
My heart is telling me it's a mistake 

But can I ever set you free? 
You've been the very heart of me 
There has to be another way 
I don't want to face the truth 

How do you leave the one you love? 
How do you rise above it all? 
Where do I find the strength to make it 
Through tomorrow when you're gone? 

And what do I tell myself tonight? 
How can I ever make it right? 
How do you leave? 
How do you leave the one you love? 

I want it to be possible 
I'm hoping for a miracle 
There has to be another way 
I don't want to face the truth 

How do you leave? 
Where do I find the strength to make it 
Through tomorrow when you're gone? 

And what do I tell myself tonight? 
How can I ever make it right? 
How do you leave? 
How do you leave the one you love? 

How do you leave? 
How do you leave the one you love?
