Lyrics
I heard every word she said
Gave a nod with every line
Hung on every little thread
just wasn't listening at the time
She said we need to talk
And I willingly obliged
but I didn't hear the cries
She was with me for a while
Every temperance, every trial
But, I never thought to see the other side
Chorus
She's standing at the door
Where she's stood a hundred times, Giving me a little smile
But it's not that friendly kind, more like she's giving me a sign
That she's leaving for real this time
Lead break
It's too late to be leaving', but much too late to stay
..
So many times she spoke the truth ...now there's hell to pay
As I look back in my mind, she'd tried so many times
To help me feel the pain in her heart
So long so out of touch, now it's time to settle up
As she walks away and leaves it all behind
Chorus
