If Leavin' Was Easy
Heartache's Dilemma: The Struggle of Holding On
Lyrics
If it wasn’t so hard, I’d pack a bag and leave a note
If leaving were easier, the singer would leave by simply packing a bag and leaving a note.
A quick goodbye, a classic “that’s all she wrote”
A quick and straightforward farewell, referencing a classic way of ending a relationship or departure.
Wouldn’t think twice about the heart I’d break
The singer wouldn't hesitate to break someone's heart in the process of leaving.
The right man who picked the wrong girl by mistake
Acknowledges being with the wrong person due to a mistake in choosing the right man.
But I’m still here, exactly where I shouldn’t be
Despite the difficulty, the singer remains in a situation where they shouldn't be.
Stuck in place, holdin’ on to what’s killin’ me
Feeling stuck and holding onto something that is detrimental to the singer.
I know that it’s wrong, but it’s like fightin’ gravity
Recognizes the wrongdoing but compares it to a force that is hard to resist, like fighting against gravity.
I’d already be gone if leavin’ was easy
If leaving were easy, the singer would have already left.
If it wasn’t so hard, I’d get in this car and drive
If it were easier, the singer would drive away without looking back.
No rear-view glances, just leave this town behind
Leaving the town without caring about the opinions or gossip from others.
Wouldn’t hear a word they’d whisper behind my back
Avoiding hearing negative comments or disapproval from others.
No chance for disapproving glances, no one left to attack
Ensuring no one is left to criticize or attack the singer.
But I’m still here, exactly where I shouldn’t be
Despite the difficulty, the singer remains in a situation where they shouldn't be.
Stuck in place, holdin’ on to what’s killin’ me
Feeling stuck and holding onto something that is detrimental to the singer.
I know that it’s wrong, but it’s like fightin’ gravity
Recognizes the wrongdoing but compares it to a force that is hard to resist, like fighting against gravity.
I’d already be gone if leavin’ was easy
If leaving were easy, the singer would have already left.
I wouldn’t be at this bar, in some stranger’s arms
The singer wouldn't be in a bar, seeking solace in the arms of a stranger.
Yeah, I’d pay my tab, call a cab, make it home and tell you I had to go
In an easier scenario, the singer would responsibly leave the bar, take a cab, and explain the departure to their partner.
But I’m still here, exactly where I shouldn’t be
Despite the difficulty, the singer remains in a situation where they shouldn't be.
Stuck in place, holdin’ on to what’s killin’ me
Feeling stuck and holding onto something that is detrimental to the singer.
I know that it’s wrong, but it’s like fightin’ gravity
Recognizes the wrongdoing but compares it to a force that is hard to resist, like fighting against gravity.
I’d already be gone if leavin’ was easy
If leaving were easy, the singer would have already left.
