While It's Still Leaving

V6

[Intro] Getting in? I was always good at that [Verse 1] Good at yes Good at maybe Good at one more Good at lately Good at seeing something open And believing I should go Good at making something happen Not so good at letting go [Pre-Chorus] Funny Nobody tells you leaving takes practice too [Chorus] I knew how to get in Didn't know how to get out Knew how to want it Knew how to work it Knew how to wear myself down I thought staying made me stronger Thought leaving meant I lost I knew how to get in Never learned what staying cost [Instrumental] [Verse 2] Stayed past full Stayed past finished Stayed when something had gone missing Stayed because I'd already given Too much time to call it done Stayed because the door behind me Felt more frightening than the one I'd walked through [Pre-Chorus] There it is That little voice One more day One more— ... No [Chorus] I knew how to get in Didn't know how to get out Knew how to hold it Knew how to prove it Knew how to wear myself down I thought staying made me loyal Thought leaving meant I lost I knew how to get in Never learned what staying cost [Long Instrumental] [Verse 3] Then I watched myself do something Almost too small to call a change Didn't slam a door Didn't burn it Didn't need somebody to blame I just felt the moment ending And for once I let it [Bridge] Oh So that's what leaving is Not failure Not running Not weakness Not proof I chose it wrong Maybe knowing when to enter Was only half the skill Maybe knowing when it's over takes a stronger hand than holding on [Instrumental Expansion] [Final Chorus] I know how to get in I'm learning how to get out I can want it I can love it I can know when it's run out I don't have to make it ugly Just to give myself a reason I can feel the moment ending And leave while it's still leaving [Extended Instrumental] [Outro] Door's right there ... I know ... Good
