Today is the day she chose for leaving.
She'll pull out as the sun begins to rise.
But there'll be no regrets, no look back to second guess.
She won't let it end that way.

Chorus:
It's the right time to leave, the right way to say goodbye
And she'll learn how to mend her broken heart.
And she hopes you will see there's no need for her to cry,
It's the right way to say goodbye.

She's not sure when she knew that it was over,
But the aching has finally gone away.
Now it's time to move on to a new life on her own,
And it's opened up her eyes.

(Repeat chorus)

She stayed to make sure he'd know the reasons,
So he'd know how she had to chase her dreams.
So she hopes he'll wish her well and she knows that time will tell
Why she had to go away.

(Repeat chorus)
