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
Just 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
Just like they all do
It's easy to think
That it might be you
When somebody leaves
Just 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 they wiped their feelings off their faces
They thought it was them
But it wasn't their fault
No it was just me

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