Why do you continue standing by my side
After all that I've said and all that I've done
I just don't understand you at all
Why do you continue to still be so nice to me, do tell.

Do you not look for the best in people to love
You should, you deserve to be happy
Believe me if you think it's in me
You're sadly mistaken I do feel.

I just want to be free
Free from being hurt should we not stay together
Free from promises made that cannot be kept
Free with no ties to keep holding me back - still young.

I hope you understand soon
Why I can't stand by your side, why we can't be one.
Happily in love ... for forever more.
At least for now, who knows what the future may hold.
