Knowin' You Were Leavin'

(专辑： Fellow Travelers - 1989)

Guess I'd known that I was losing you
But I never asked you why
Thought I could live with your goodbye

Time would pass and I'd get over you
It would be easy to go on
Baby, I was wrong, so wrong

Cause knowing you were leaving was easier than knowing you're gone
As long as you were leaving I never had to face the night alone
And I could tell myself on the day you went away
I could watch you go and still be strong
Knowing you were leaving was easier than knowing that you're gone

I almost laughed to think the fool I was
I can't fill this empty space
There's just no one to take your place

And as lonely days pass into silent nights
I realize that from now on you're not leaving
Now you're gone and I was wrong

Cause knowing you were leaving was easier than knowing you're gone
As long as you were leaving I never had to face the night alone
And I could tell myself on the day you went away
I can watch you go and still be strong
But knowing you were leaving was easier than knowing that you're gone
And knowing you were leaving was easier than knowing that you're gone
