it’s time to go

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul

You know when it's time to go

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul

You know when it's time to go

[Post-Chorus]

Sometimes, givin' up is the strong thing

Sometimes, to run is the brave thing

Sometimes, walkin' out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

Sometimes, givin' up is the strong thing

Sometimes, to run is the brave thing

Sometimes, walkin' out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

[Verse 3]

Fifteen years, fifteen million tears

Begging 'til my knees bled

I gave it my all, he gave me nothin' 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

[Chorus]

That old familiar body ache

The snaps from the same little breaks in my soul

I know when it's time to go

[Post-Chorus]

Sometimes, givin' up is the strong thing

Sometimes, to run is the brave thing

Sometimes, walkin' out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

Sometimes, givin' up is the strong thing

Sometimes, to run is the brave thing

Sometimes, walkin' out is the one thing

That will find you the right thing

[Outro]

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
