Too young to understand
Why she went away
Too old to admit

That I wouldn't be okay
So I hardened
My heart that day

I wiped the feelings
Off my face
She said it was her

And it wasn't my fault
It wasn't my fault
But when somebody leaves

Just like they all do
It's easy to think
That it might be you

When somebody leaves
Like they all do
It ain't easy


His eyes told me
We were through

And he'd be okay
I just looked down
As my true love walked away

And it hardened
My heart that day
But I wiped

The feelings off my face
He said it was him
And it wasn't my fault

Was it my fault

'Cause when somebody leaves

Like they all do
It's easy to think
That it might be you

When somebody leaves
Like they all do
It ain't easy


But I will stay strong
And I will stay busy and

I won't lean
Too much to your side
And in July

We'll call it freedom
And one day this sheen
That covers my eyes

Will melt away
It'll fall drip down
By the wayside

I just need time

This town was feeling so small

And I needed space
So I packed my things
In my blue suitcase

And I drove away
But it hardened
My heart that day

When he wiped
His feelings off his face
Cause he thought it was him

But it wasn't his fault
No it was just me


But when somebody leaves
Like we all do
It's easy to think

That it might be you
When somebody leaves
Like we all do

It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
