Once upon a time, I swore I'd find a way to make it right
And bear all of these burdens by myself
I prayed for God to end it all and save me from this firing wall
But I hung all of my hopes upon the shelf
But you, you were so beautiful to open up the door
And put me out of my misery and end the silent war
You gave me nothing but trouble and
That's God's honest truth
It's been a joy falling out of love with you
You left me alone to chase a lovely dream
And taste the finest liquors in the south
You saw the setting sun in Sarasota and the pleasures of the road are like a sweet taste of wine in your mouth
But you, you are not satisfied with good, better, or best
Until you're good and wasted, baby, I know you can't rest
And now that the lights are on, you find an empty room
Seems it ain't hard falling out of love with you
And I loved you with all of my heart and I tried to be faithful, I tried to be true
And I thought the solution elusive until I saw that the problem was you
And now all this time has passed and you haven't got a clue
It's been a joy falling out of love with you
It's been a joy falling out of love with you.
