This Is How A Woman Leaves Lyrics by Maren Morris

Close your eyes and listen to me closely
Like you used to know me, now you don’t
Smile at me like you understand me
You don’t understand me, you don’t

I won’t leave the room for you to wonder what I meant when I said it
‘Cause I meant it when I said it
Look me in the eyes now, I’m gonna say goodbye now
Don’t pretend that you’re gonna forget it

This is how a woman leaves
If this is how it’s gonna be now
I’ll go where you can’t follow me
And you can’t call, and you can’t say anything
This is how a woman leaves

I can run faster than you can
I can hold the whole truth better than any man
I can stand tall, I can freefall
I can break through with my back up against the wall

I don’t have to prove to you that I was so good to you
Maybe that is why this is hard for you
There’s nothing here left to do, you don’t have to make a move
Nothing here to save, nothing left to lose

This is how a woman leaves
If this is how it’s gonna be now
I’ll go where you can’t follow me
And you can’t call, and you can’t say anything
This is where it’s gonna end
Not gonna try to be your friend
All I want is you to get
Out of my heart, out of my head

This is how a woman leaves
Even though it’s killing me
I’ll make it look so easy
That even I believe me
Go ahead and look me in the eye
Go ahead, pretend that you’re surprised

This is how a woman leaves
If this is how it’s gonna be now
I’ll go where you can’t follow me
And you can’t call, and you can’t say anything

You have the nerve to ask why I’m not crying
I did all my crying lying next to you
