I'm not sayin' I have all the answers

And I don't care who's right or wrong

I'm tryin' to pick up the pieces already fallen

And put them back where they belong



So slow down your horses

Stop draggin' me around

And if cryin' is the only way into your heart

Then leavin' is the only way out



We've slammed every door in anger

And we've opened wounds we can't mend

And one night lonely is one night too many

Don't wanna wake up to one more night that won't end



So slow down your horses

Stop draggin' me around

And if cryin' is the only way into your heart

Then leavin' is the only way out



When late nights and long lies came knockin'

You just invited them in

And our voices got too loud for talkin'

Then my heart hit the floor

But your feet just kept walkin'



And if cryin' is the only way you hear me hurtin'

For the lovin' that I can't live without

And if lovin' ain't the only way into your heart

Then leavin' is the only way out



Oh, leavin' is the only way out
