Darling, take me or leave me
You don’t have to be so cruel
To relieve me of all of my duties
I’ll leave you in peace
You won’t hear a single thing

I'm constantly fighting
The thoughts in my mind
About being your bride
I’ve been singing at weddings
And wasting my time
Writing these lines about you

And there goes my heart right out the front door
There goes my world spinning out
Ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am

Well, I'm back in the valley
Been singing your praise
That or keeping my mouth shut
Most of my days
And I gotta say lately
I'm missing your face like hell

But despite all my longing
I'm still seeing clearly
The first time in years
I can actually put myself first
And the hurting is teaching me something
I'm sure, oh, I'm sure

And there goes my heart right out the front door
There goes my world spinning out
Ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am

Oh, you’re calling me crying to tell me you’re sorry
To tug on my heart strings and call me your darling
And that’s what I wanted but not what I asked for
It don’t change a thing, no it doesn’t change anything
You’re calling me crying to tell me you need me
And, oh, that our love is something worth saving
I guess, I guess, I guess, I guess that’s it

And there goes my heart out the front door
There goes my world spinning out
Ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am

Oh, there goes my heart out the front door
There goes my world caving in
Ain’t got no choice but starting over so here I am
