I can see the pain living in your eyes
and I know how hard you try
you deserve e to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
and I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back from where you might belong

-chorus-
you would never ask me why
my heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
than to ever make you cry
there's nothing left to say but good-bye

you deserve the chance at the kind of love
I’m not sure I’m worthy of
Losing you is painful to me
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back from where you might belong

Chorus

you would never ask me why
my heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
than to ever make you cry
there's nothing left to try
though it’s gonna hurt us both
there’s no other way
than to say…good-byeeeee
