The rain ain't let up
For 2 damn weeks
So I'm sitting at home
Trying to think
Of every way
To keep you from leaving me
Writing love songs
Don't seem to work
And I've already bought you
All the flowers and pearls
That my starving wallet
Can bear to afford
So if you're set on leaving
Won't you break it off clean
And come up with a reason
That's easy to believe
And let me get through it
Before the leaves all die
I don't know about you
But to tell you the truth
I'll cry till my heart
Cant be used
To love again
For the rest of my life
So if you're set on leavin
Make it easy this time
I don't know how
Things went south so quick
It seems like the other day
We were a couple of kids
All wrapped up
With our hearts on fire
But gas burns out faster
Than some dried up old sticks
And I guess that's exactly
What led us to this
A cold and harsh
Pile of ashes
So if you're set on leaving
Won't you break it off clean
And come up with a reason
That's easy to believe
And let me get through it
Before the leaves all die
I don't know about you
But to tell you the truth
I can't stand the thought
Of a life without you
But if it makes you happy
Please just make up your mind
If you're set on leavin
Make it easy this time
