im watching you turning away
wish i could turn back the hands of time to yesterday
i know i was wrong
i made a mistake

now the only one i love is going away

(chorus)
just when youre leaving
just when youre leaving
if i could find the words to say
that wont make you stay
just when youre leaving
just when youre leaving

i played you just like a game
but this player plays the fool at the end of the day
i know that i changed
i wish i had proved
wish that i could make you see what im going through

(chorus)

(bridge)
i wish that you would understand
i dont understand myself
i guess im way too complicated
i wish that you would take my hand
see that there is no one else - oh

(chorus)

just when youre leaving
just when youre leaving
just find the words to say
that wont make you stay
just when youre leaving
just when youre leaving

just when youre leaving.
