It's the Staying That Hurts

I have been gone
Too long
The gravel drive
The sound of wheels
Looking out a window
I was always waiting
You gave me what I needed
And it carried me away

Goodbye
It’s a blessing and a curse
To leave is easy
It’s the staying that hurts

Turn on the lights
As I’m walking through
Sweet memories
In every room
The house is dark
At the end of the day
I don’t know why
I ever went away

Goodbye
It’s a blessing and a curse
To leave is easy
It’s the staying that hurts

The record spins
The needle’s in the air
You’re on a white bed
Pink carnation in your hair
The love you gave
If I could give it back to you
Ten times over
That it might carry you

Goodbye
It’s a blessing and a curse
To leave is easy
It’s the staying that hurts
It’s the staying that hurts
