When the dinner is cold and the chatter gets old
You ask for the tab
Or that moment again, he’s insisting that friends
Look at each other like that
When the words of a sister come back in whispers
That prove she was not
In fact what she seemed, not a twin from your dreams
She’s a crook who was caught
That old familiar body ache
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know
When it’s time to go
Twenty years at your job, then the son of the boss
Gets the spot that was yours
Or trying to stay for the kids, when keeping it how it is
Will only break their hearts worse
That old familiar body ache
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know
When it’s time to go
Sometimes, giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes, to run is the brave thing
Sometimes, walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
Sometimes, giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes, to run is the brave thing
Sometimes, walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
Fifteen years, fifteen million tears
Begging till my knees bled
I gave it my all, he gave me nothing at all
Then wondered why I left
Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
Praying to his greed
He’s got my past frozen behind glass
But I’ve got me
That old familiar body ache
The snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
I know
When it’s time to go
Sometimes, giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes, to run is the brave thing
Sometimes, walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
Sometimes, giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes, to run is the brave thing
Sometimes, walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
That will find you the right thing
And you know
In your soul
And you know
In your soul
When it’s time to go
And, well, you know, you know, you know, you know
When it’s time to go
So then you go
And then you go
You just go
