You’re always talking holiness
But you’re only breeding bitterness
I’m going to live without you
Live life like I want to
I love the kids with all my heart
Please tell them that while we’re apart
As for you, I love you more
That’s why I must go out this door
You can’t walk out that door
What about the sixteen years
We’ve been married for?
After all those sixteen years
After the laughter and after the tears
You just walk out and leave us alone
All alone and on our own
What will I do?
I don’t think we can make it without you
Sometimes love can lose its way
Buried underneath the pain
Sometimes hearts keep holding on
Long after hope has gone
If we ever find each other
May forgiveness lead us home
Love is more than staying…
Love is more than going…
