I leave through the gift shop
I'm keepin' all my souvenirs
Keychain in a cough drop
Postcards say, wish that you were here

And I'll tell you not to worry
To make sure that you believe in me
But the hardest part of leaving
Is to make it look so easy
To make it look so easy, yeah

The hardest part of leaving is accepting all the reasons
That somehow we keep repeating endlessly
And the hardest part of leaving is to hold the heavy breathing back from
Showing you how hard it is for me
To make it look so easy

I'll leave through the side streets
Right by the house where you grew up
Our names in the concrete
They're lasting way longer than us

I'm looking for the high road
I'm smiling, just in case you see
'Cause the hardest part of leaving
Is to make it look so easy, yeah
To make it look so easy, yeah

The hardest part of leaving is accepting all the reasons
That somehow we keep repeating endlessly
And the hardest part of leaving is to hold the heavy breathing back from
Showing you how hard it is for me
To make it look so easy

I hope you'll forgive me even though I'm not apologizing
I will try to do the same for you
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I hope you'll forgive me for the nights that I've been fantasizing
Hoping that you're thinking 'bout me too

The hardest part of leaving is accepting all the reasons
That somehow we keep repeating endlessly
And the hardest part of leaving is to hold the heavy breathing back from
Showing you how hard it is for me
To make it look so easy

I wish I could make it look easy
So I'll live through the gift shop
I'm keepin' all my souvenirs
