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 tryin' to be strong
I've got somewhere else to be
Promises to keep
Someone else who loves me
And trust 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 never 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 never have to do
To turn around and walk away
Pretending I don't love you
I know that we'll meet again
Fate has a place and time
So you can get on wit your life
I've got to be cruel to be kind
Like Dr. Zhivago
All my love I'll be sending
And you'll never know
'Cause there can be no happy ending
(chorus)
Maybe another time, another day
As much as I want to, I can't stay
I've made up my mind
There is no turning back
She's been good to me
And she deserves better than that
(chorus)
