When it's taken, it's taken
And there's no turning back
'Cos you dying to have her
But you know that she's not worth it
And there's a reason she's trying
To get to your falling heart
There's a reason she's aching
To tear you apart

But how do you leave the one you love?
How do you leave the one you love?
When you just cannot take how
How she's 'gonna break
Tell me, how do you leave?

When you know that it's strong
So you got nothing left to give her
What you tasted it gone
But the noise that she left here
Keeps saying she's not to blame
It was never about her
She's a part of the game

But how do you leave the one you love?
How do you leave the one you love?
When you just cannot take how
How she's 'gonna break (How do you leave the one you love?)

How do you leave when she's the one? (How do you leave?)
How do you leave when you're all she's got? (How do you leave?)(The one that you love)
How do you leave when she's the one? (How do you leave?)
How do you leave when she's the one you love?

But how do you leave the one you love?
How do you leave the one you love?
When you just cannot take how
How she's 'gonna break (How do you leave)(The one you love)
And how do you leave the one you love? (The one you love)
How do you leave the one you love? (The one you love)
You just cannot take how
She's 'gonna break (How do you leave the one you love?)
Tell me, how do you leave?
