Too young to understand
Why she went away
Too old to admit
That I wouldn't be okay
So I hardened
My heart that day
I wiped the feelings
Off my face
She said it was her
And it wasn't my fault
It wasn't my fault
But when somebody leaves
Just like they all do
It's easy to think
That it might be you
When somebody leaves
Like they all do
It ain't easy

His eyes told me
We were through
And he'd be okay
I just looked down
As my true love walked away
And it hardened
My heart that day
But I wiped
The feelings off my face
He said it was him
And it wasn't my fault
Was it my fault

'Cause when somebody leaves
Like they all do
It's easy to think
That it might be you
When somebody leaves
Like they all do
It ain't easy

But I will stay strong
And I will stay busy and
I won't lean
Too much to your side
And in July
We'll call it freedom
And one day this sheen
That covers my eyes
Will melt away
It'll fall drip down
By the wayside
I just need time

This town was feeling so small
And I needed space
So I packed my things
In my blue suitcase
And I drove away
But it hardened
My heart that day
When he wiped
His feelings off his face
Cause he thought it was him
But it wasn't his fault
No it was just me

But when somebody leaves
Like we all do
It's easy to think
That it might be you
When somebody leaves
Like we all do
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
It ain't easy
