We both know that I shouldn't be here This is wrong And baby, it's killin' me It's killin' you Both of us trying to be strong I've got somewhere else to be Promises to keep Someone else who loves me And trusts me fast asleep
I've made up my mind There is no turning back She's been good to me And she deserves better than that
Chorus: It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do To look you in the eye and Tell you I don't love you It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie To show no emotion When you start to cry I can't let you see What you mean to me When my hands are tied and My heart's not free We're not meant to be It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do To turn around and walk away Pretending I don't love you
I know we'll meet again Fate has a place and time So you can get on with your life I've got to be cruel to be kind Like Dr. Zhivago All my love I'll be sending And you will never know 'Cause, there can be no happy ending
Chorus
I've made up my mind There is no turning back She's been good to me And she deserves better than that
