I didn’t want to have to make you cry
I didn’t want to say goodbye
I couldn’t bare to face the truth
But I was me and you were you
I didn’t want to have to let you down
I didn’t want to hang around
Pretending we would make it through
Cause you lost me and I lost you

Chorus:
I’m by myself
My heart is shaken
Was I mistaken
By leaving today
Beside myself
Our love is faded
I’m slowly breaking away

I didn’t want to have to start and then
I didn’t want to face the end
I didn’t want to hold the pain
I can’t afford to feel again
But this is where I’m in my life
And I know somehow I’ll get by
I didn’t want to feel the cold
But Babe, I have to let you go

Chorus

Forgive me if I’ve never
Got to say I’m sorry
Forgive me girl
Cause I won’t be around

I’m by myself
Beside myself
Our love is faded
I’m slowly breaking away

Chorus
