How Do You Tell Someone Goodbye
by darthelwig


How do you tell someone you don't love them anymore
It's getting too hard to pretend I'm not thinking about the door
My body is here, but my heart is long gone
And it may be wrong but I can't let him see what path my mind is on
The feelings have all faded, though he did everything right
It's hard to lay down in our bed, sleeping next to him each night
He pulls me close, and I don't care
I don't want to hurt him, but I need my heart laid bare

How do you speak the truth after living so long in a lie
I can't love him any longer, though God knows how hard I've tried
How do you keep from breaking a heart in a relationship that's died
How do you tell someone goodbye

He used to be the one that set my body and soul on fire
But now my traitorous heart has made me into a liar
I never imagined a heart could be this torn
But this woman I've been portraying has gotten rather worn
Life goes on around me while my heart slips further away
I need to tell him something while there's still something to say
I owe him more than to just say it's over
I've come to a standstill, and it's time I moved forward

How do you speak the truth after living so long in a lie
I can't love him any longer, though God knows how hard I've tried
How do you keep from breaking a heart in a relationship that's died
How do you tell someone goodbye
