Was I ever good for you?
Have I only let you down?
Did we do all we could do?
To keep from running aground

I can see it coming down the line
What I’ve always known
The thought that’s been on my mind
To leave what should be left alone

I never wanted you to say
Baby, it’s time to go
I never wanted you to stay
And be my second home

I feel it in a distant wind
I feel in my bones
It’s pulling on my heart again
To leave what should be left alone

I’ve watched it hit the ground
I’ve watched it fall apart
I’ve heard the world’s saddest sound
The sound of a broken heart

Was I ever good for you?
Have I only let you down?
Did we do all we could do?
To keep from running aground

I see it coming down the lines
What I’ve always known
The thought that’s been on my mind
To leave what should be left alone

The thought that’s been on my mind
To leave what should be left alone
