It's not that I don't love you You know how much I do And it's not that I've found someone To take the place of you It's just a fear that builds within me Everytime you touch my hand And a dread that shakes my body That even I don't understand So I'm leaving This time I'm playing it smart I'm gonna walk away from love Before love breaks my heart
Oh, you're clinging to me tighter Than you ever have before I don't understand it But I know it's gonna take everything I've got To keep walking out the door But those arms you've got around me Will let me go someday And I'd rather leave you holding on Than pushing me away So I'm leaving, yes I am This time I'm playing it smart I'm gonna walk away from love Before love breaks my heart
So I'm leaving, yes I am This time I'm playing it smart I'm gonna walk away from love Before love breaks my heart Oh, baby It's not that I don't love you You know how much I do Oh, baby I'm leaving, baby This time I'm playing it smart Oh, don't break my heart Oh, I'm walking away, baby Oh, will you let me go I'd rather have you holding on, holding on oh, than pushing me away So I'm leaving I know you're playing it smart Don't you break my heart, baby I'm leaving, baby And it's not that I've found someone new No can take the place of you But I'm leaving This time I'm playing it smart I'm walking away from love
