[Verse 1]
Close your eyes and count to ten
Take a minute, breathe it in
Watch it mixing with the wind outside your window
Like salt into the ocean
Back to where I belong
Pedal down, a brand new song
Take one off to try one on 'cause there's no secret
To this life

[Chorus]
I love you but I'm leaving
I hope you figure out some day
What it is you're needing
But if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay

[Verse 2]
Every little chord and tone
Ring them out stick by stone
I know it used to be my home. It's far behind me
And I'm not lookin' back
No, not even a second glance
Water over dirty hands
And though it doesn't make much sense right now
I'll let it just work out in the end
[Chorus]
I love you but I'm leaving
I hope you figure some day
What it is you're needing
But if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay

[Bridge]
And though I don't owe an explanation
You're kind of like sitting too close to a fire
I know a few feet would make it better
But this chair's so heavy, it's late, I'm getting tired
But long gone are the days where I sit by and wait
For you to just burn out or burn me up
So this is goodbye

[Outro]
I love you but I'm leaving
I hope you figure out some day
What it is you're needing
But if you can't help yourself, I can't make myself stay
