You said that you would always love me and you were always going to wait

That a life lived as my wife was your destiny and one true fate

But now it is painfully obvious that you've had a change of heart

The love we once shared is gone and we've started to grow apart

I never thought you could be like this and hurt me in this way

So now I have to find the strength to face each coming day

We always dreamed we would be together for forever and a day

But those dreams are starting to fade and your heart is going away

For so long, you've been more than just my girl but also my best friend

You won't tell me what's in your heart so how can I comprehend?

And yet you can still sit there and lie to me on the phone

Saying you still love me when your heart has turned to stone

I gave up so much for you because in you I did believe

That you were all I ever wanted and all I'd ever need

But now I have to let you go and let you walk out of my life

Forgetting all our dreams of a family and of you being my wife

But there is something inside of me, something I need to know

You always said you'd never give up, so why are you letting go?

But it's probably for the best that we both move on

Cause how can we be truly happy when your love is gone?

But I still have feelings inside of me that I'm trying to make go away

I truly can't decide; should I leave or should I stay?

But this I should let you know before it is too late

That the love I still have for you won't ever turn to hate

But it will become something different, something you won't see

Once I can convince myself that we will never come to be

That if I let us back together it can only be as friends

Cause the pain is too great and would take too long to mend

But no matter what may happen to us, whatever comes to be

Know that I did love you and that it still remains in me

But when I ask you, you can't find a good reason to stay

I guess your love is gone for good, and that is why you go away.
