I leave through the gift shop, I'm keepin' all my souvenirs
Keychain in a coughdrop
Postcards say, wish that you were here
And I'll tell you not to worry
To make sure that you believe in me

But the hardest part of leaving, is to make it look so easy
To make it look so easy, yeah

The hardest part of leaving is accepting all the reasons
That somehow we keep repeating endlessly
And the hardest part of leaving is to hold the heavy breathing
Back, from showing you how hard it is for me
To make it look so easy

I'll leave through the sidestreets
Right by the house where you grew up
Our names in the concrete
They're lasting way longer than us
I'm looking for the high road
I'm smiling just in case you see

'Cause the hardest part of leaving, is to make it look so easy, yeah
To make it look so easy, yeah

The hardest part of leaving is accepting all the reasons
That somehow we keep repeating endlessly
And the hardest part of leaving is to hold the heavy breathing
Back, from showing you how hard it is for me
To make it look so easy

I hope you'll forgive me even though I'm not apologizing
I will try to do the same for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hope you'll forgive me for the nights that I've been fantasizing
Hoping that you're thinking 'bout me too

The hardest part of leaving is accepting all the reasons
That somehow we keep repeating endlessly
And the hardest part of leaving is to hold the heavy breathing
Back, from showing you how hard it is for me
To make it look so easy

I wish I could make it look easy
So I'll live through the gift shop
I'm keepin' all my souvenirs
