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 'til 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 you know, you know, you know, you know When it's time to go So then you go Then you go You just go
