Leaving Gently

(album: Hold On A While - 2005)

I hear the sound of your keys unlock the door
You don't hum 'La Vie en Rose' like you did before
There's a faded light in your eyes when you look at me
And I'm afraid of what you no longer feel

You're leaving
But I hold you as you sleep by my side
You're leaving
I know what's on your mind but you just can't find the words
You're leaving me gently

I left my keys on the table by the door
Can no longer watch the way I hurt you anymore
I can't find an easy way to tell you the feeling's gone
Can't tell my heart to go on and on

So, I'm leaving
Can't be the one, the love that you deserve
I'm leaving
I know it's on my mind, but I just can't find the words
So, I'm leaving you gently

I can't deal with the hurt any longer
Oh, if I can take your pain

You're leaving
I can't be the one, the love that you deserve
You're leaving
I know it's on my mind, but I just can't find the words
So I'm leaving you gently
