Set On Leaving Lyrics

The rain ain't let up

For 2 damn weeks

So I'm sitting at home

Trying to think

Of every way

To keep you from leaving me

Writing love songs

Don't seem to work

And I've already bought you

All the flowers and pearls

That my starving wallet

Can bear to afford

So if you're set on leaving

Won't you break it off clean

And come up with a reason

That's easy to believe

And let me get through it

Before the leaves all die

I don't know about you

But to tell you the truth

I'll cry till my heart

Cant be used

To love again

For the rest of my life

So if you're set on leavin

Make it easy this time

I don't know how

Things went south so quick

It seems like the other day

We were a couple of kids

All wrapped up

With our hearts on fire

But gas burns out faster

Than some dried up old sticks

And I guess that's exactly

What led us to this

A cold and harsh

Pile of ashes

So if you're set on leaving

Won't you break it off clean

And come up with a reason

That's easy to believe

And let me get through it

Before the leaves all die

I don't know about you

But to tell you the truth

I can't stand the thought

Of a life without you

But if it makes you happy

Please just make up your mind

If you're set on leavin

Make it easy this time
