Not Enough To Stay

Carolyn Dawn Johnson


It was running through my mind 
I was running out of time 
And it was time to let you go 
No more right or wrong 
No more crying all night long 
Even though it's lonely here alone 
When the phone rings I almost wish that it was you 
There's nothing left to say and nothing we can do 

I can stand on my own two feet 
And I know that this is best for you and me 
Believe me, it's not easy 
I can feel the pain 
It hurts so much to leave 
But not enough to stay 

You've convinced me before to come back for more 
Well this time I'm not turning around 
I'm sure one more try is bound to end in goodbye 
And I've come too far to turn back now 
I know the hardest part is over 
And I take a breath 
Now we can look forward 
To better days ahead 

Oh I can stand on my own two feet 
And I know that this is best for you and me 
Believe me, it's not easy 
I can feel the pain 
It hurts so much to leave 
But not enough to stay 

Oh I can stand on my own two feet 
And I know that this is best for you and me 
Believe me, it's not easy 
I can feel the pain 
It hurts so much to leave 
It hurts so much to leave 
It hurts so much to leave 
But not enough to stay
