I Wish That I Could Tell You

How do you tell someone you're letting go? I wish that I could tell you.
But you're asking me things that I don't know
The words that I would say, sound as empty as the way you feel inside
While the silence in between, tells me everything that you deny

I don't know how you leave it all behind, I wish that I could tell you
Is it true a heart heals itself with time?
How do you choose?
Do you hurt 'em with the truth or with a lie?
Where do you go to find the courage, you know I could never find?
I don't know how to help you, I wish that I could tell you
how to tell me goodbye.

Where do you turn, where do you go,
when you've finally reached the end of the road?
How do you say it, I just don't know...
When it comes to leaving you're on your own

How do you tell someone you're letting go?
I wish that I could tell you.

- Reba McEntire



You're not supposed to understand. But it hurt me.

Still does.
