leaving is a whole lot harder

Marty Robbins

It's no use to try to place the blame
And say who has been wrong
Even though we know it's over
Flames of love still linger on
And both knowing that goodbyes to what we had
Are soon to come
Leavin' is a whole lot harder
Than bein' gone

It's not easy to walk away from arms I know I'll miss
Bein' near you, I still want your touch
And your tender kiss
Knowing that I can't replace the love
For you, still beating strong
Leavin' is a whole lot harder
Than bein' gone

Memories of lovin' you will walk the hallways of my mind
But they say the past will fade into
A dream that's lost in time
Still I find it hard to break the chains
From lovin' you so long
Leavin' is a whole lot harder
Than bein' gone

It's not easy to walk away from arms I know I'll miss
Bein' near you, I still want your touch
And your tender kiss
Knowing that I can't replace the love
For you, still beating strong
Leavin' is a whole lot harder
Than bein' gone
Leavin' is a whole lot harder
Than bein' gone
