Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
You’re so close to tellin’ me you’re leaving
Packin’ up your things and leavin’ town
If you can walk away the rest is easy
[Chorus:]
Once you cut the strings that tie you down
[Verse 2:]
Just look me in the eye and say it’s over
Just tell me you don’t want me around
Once you say goodbye, it’s gone forever
[Chorus]
[Verse 3:]
There’s no way I can picture me without you
I still think of you in your wedding gown
If I have to give you up, may God be with you
[Chorus]
