John Conlee Knowin' You Were Leavin' Lyrics

Guess I'd known that I was losing you
But I never asked you why
Thought I could live with your goodbye

Time would pass and I'd get over you
It would be easy to go on
Baby, I was wrong, so wrong

Cause knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' you're gone
As long as you were leavin' I never had to face the night alone
And I could tell myself on the day you went away
I could watch you go and still be strong
Knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' that you're gone

I almost laughed to think the fool I was
I can't fill this empty space There's just no one to take your place

And as lonely days pass into silent nights
I realize that from now on you're not leaving
Now you're gone and I was wrong

Cause knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' you're gone
As long as you were leavin' I never had to face the night alone
And I could tell myself on the day you went away
I can watch you go and still be strong
But knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' that you're gone
And knowin' you were leavin' was easier than knowin' that you're gone
