There's a right way of leavin'
A kind way to kill her doubt
Oh, but what I found the hard way
It's always hard to let her down
There's a right way of bein'
A thousand ways to drink her in
And it's an endless game
Always wise to let her win
There's a heart for forgivin'
Again and again
And there's a part for the actors
In the life that we play
There's a mile for the journey
Awhile for the learning
And we learn to be wrong the right way
There's a fine way of stealin'
Like a longer way to walk her home
Just to buy more time
I know that can't be wrong
There's a calm way of breathin'
When life keeps comin' endlessly
When it's hard sometimes
Just stand here next to me
There's a heart for forgivin'
Again and again
And there's a part for the actors
In the life that we play
There's a mile for the journey
Awhile for the learning
And we learn to be wrong the right way
Back on you to hold us together
Left undone the hope just fades
There's a heart for givin'
Again and again
And there's a part for the actors
In the life that we play
There's a mile for the journey
Awhile for the learning
And we learn to be wrong the right way
We have to learn to be wrong the right way
