The leaving lyrics

You can walk away from this

break the chain of days there's nothing left to miss

now's the fateful hour you've no time to think

of how he's going to face all his tomorrows

You can walk away from it all

there is no way that you can ever break his fall

but he will learn to love again as time goes by

you know your touch will just add to all his sorrows

She stands beside herself and forms the words she needs to say

afraid that once they're spoken they will not wash away

imagining as time goes by he’ll learn to love again

in some other life as time goes by as time goes by

Can't lead the life you’ve led

trapped inside another's needy heart and head

choking on the countless things we leave unsaid

no way can I be here now that it's over

He stands beside himself and forms the words he needs to say

but only gets things said when she's too far away

still dreaming that as time goes by he’ll learn to love again

in some other life as time goes by as time goes by
