[Verse 1]
These eyes
I never saw you leavin'
This heart
Is in need of some healing
These arms
Are letting you go
And our life is
The greatest story never told
[Verse 2]
How many more ways can I explain this to you, boy?
We have had this conversation several times before
I will accept nothin' less than your complete respect
If you cannot give me that, then maybe I should step
[Verse 3]
These eyes
Never saw you leavin'
This heart
Is in need of some healing, yeah
These arms
Are letting you go
Our life is
The greatest story never told
[Verse 4]
All this cryin, all this fightin' simply ain't my style
Though you're one of the most important people in my life
I loved you from the day we met, I know you loved me too
But at this point, walking away is the best thing we can do
[Verse 5]
These eyes
Never saw you leavin'
But this heart
Is in need of some healing, yeah
These arms
Are letting you go
Our life is
The greatest story never told
[Verse 6]
Were we meant 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'll never know
Even as I walk away, I'll always keep the hope
[Verse 7]
These eyes
Never saw you leavin'
This heart
Is in need of some healing, yeah
These arms
Are letting you go, yeah
That's life (Yeah, yeah)
That's the way the story goes
[Verse 8]
(The truth is) Every relationship is a lesson, yeah
(Truth is) I saw it comin' but it hurts anyway
(Truth is) I'm not the reason you're so angry
(Truth is) You're not the reason I'm so passive
Truth is, I got to take back my power
[Verse 9]
The truth is
The reason why it hurts so bad
To walk away from you
[Verse 10]
These eyes
I never saw you leavin'
This heart
My heart is in need of some healing, yeah
These arms
These arms are letting you go
That's life
The greatest story never told
[Verse 11]
These eyes
This heart (Mmm, heavy need of your healing)
These arms (Are letting you go)
That's life
The greatest story never told
[Verse 12]
Our love
The greatest story never told
Our life is the greatest story never told
Our love is the greatest story never told
That's life
And that's the way the story goes
