"Leaving's hard, trust me, it's really bad
It'll shake you, damn near break you, it always has
You don't go until you're praying to break even,
Until staying is worse than leaving
God knows we tried everything that we could do
You can keep your pride and blame me if you need to
Even though this freedom feels a lot like treason,
I know staying is worse than leaving
It's gotta get better, it can't get worse
Hope it's a blessing not a curse
I don't care who passes judgment on my reasons
I know staying is worse than leaving
It's gotta get better, it can't get worse
Hope it's a blessing not a curse
I don't care who passes judgment on my reasons
I know staying is worse than leaving
Both our hearts let go a long time ago
Words leave scars and Lord knows they heal slow
Our love died but somehow we are both still breathing
I just hope someday we'll look back on this grieving
And say, staying is worse than leaving
Yeah, that staying is worse than leaving
Yeah, that staying is
Worse than leaving
