I'm not saying I have all the answers
And I don't care who's right or wrong
I'm trying to pick up the pieces already fallen
And put them back where they belong

So slow down on your horses
Stop dragging me around
And if crying is the only way into your heart
Then leaving is the only way out

We've slammed every door in anger
And we've opened wounds we can't mend
And one night lonely is one night too many
Don't wanna wake up to one more night that won't end

So slow down on your horses
Stop dragging me around
And if crying is the only way into your heart
Then leaving is the only way out

When late nights and long lies came knocking
You just invited them in
And our voices got too loud for talking
Then my heart hit the floor but your feet just kept walking

And if crying is the only way you hear me hurting
For the loving that I can't live without
And if loving ain't the only way into your heart
Then leaving is the only way out
Oh, leaving is the only way out
