The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You tell me today that you're leaving
But just think a while I'm sure that you must know
Today might be the day that you walk away but you left me a long long time ago
Today is just the day that ends it all except the usual mem'rieshat always linger on
And today might be the day that you walk away but you left me a long long time ago
I stood with helpless hands and watched me lose your love
A little more each day then it was gone
I kept wonderin' just how long until this day would come
How long could your pride keep hangin' on
So please don't say you're sorry don't say anything
Don't try to say why you must leave just go
And today might be the day that you walk away but you left me a long long time ago
You left me a long long time ago
