These eyes never saw you leaving
This heart
Is in need of some healing
These arms
Are letting you go
Our life
Is the greatest story never told

How many times can I explain this to you boy
We've had this conversation several times before
How I'll accept nothing less then your complete respect
And if you cannot give me that so maybe I should step

These eyes
Never saw you leaving
This heart
Is in need of some healing
These arms
Are letting you go
Our life
Is the greatest story never told

All this crying
All this fighting
Simply ain't my style
Though
You're the most important people in my life
I love you from the day we met
I know you love me too
At this point walking away
Is the best thing we could do

These eyes
Never saw you leaving
This heart
Is in need of some healing
These arms
Are letting you go
Our life
Is the greatest story never told

We're we ment to be man and wife?
The answer I don't know
Of life's many mysteries
What intrigues me the most
Is who our children would have been
I guess we would never known
Even as I walk away
I will always keep the hope

These eyes
Never saw you leaving
This heart
Is in need of some healing
These arms
Are letting you go
That's life
That's the way this story goes

The truth is
Every relationship is a lesson
The truth is
I saw it coming but it hurts so bad
The truth is
I'm not the reason you're so angry
The truth is
You're not the reason I'm so passive
The truth is
You've got to take back your power
The truth is

The reason why it hurts so bad to walk away from you

These eyes
Had never saw you leaving so hard
My heart is in need of some healing
These arms
These arms are letting you go
That's life
The greatest story never told
These arms
This heart
Is in need of your healing
These arms are letting you go
That's life
The greatest story never told

Our love is
The greatest story never told
Our life is
The greatest story never told

That's life
The greatest story never told.
