[Verse] The suitcase sat there by the door The echoes rang from our last war I saw your tears but I stayed still A hollow heart I couldn't fill [Verse 2] Your voice was soft but sharp as glass Each word a cut that wouldn't pass I turned away to hide my face The hardest thing was leave this place [Chorus] The hardest thing I had to do Was walking out and leaving you The weight of love it crushed me down Yet here I stand in an empty town [Verse 3] I heard your footsteps fade away They chased my shadow down the gray The sky cried out in muted tones But still I left you there alone [Bridge] Each mile I walk feels like a chain Tied to the past where love remains I keep on moving but it stings A broken heart still grows its wings [Chorus] The hardest thing I had to do Was walking out and leaving you The weight of love it crushed me down Yet here I stand in an empty town
