Looking in your eyes
I see a memory
Of how it used to be
Before our world came tumbling down

I try, I did nothing else but try
To keep our love alive
Oh, how I loved you so
And you just made me cry

Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying
Or do I leave you?

Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew

Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

Touch this lonely heart
As I try to say to you
About the things you do
Now I'm alone dissatisfied

Did you deceive me?
Did you do me wrong?
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying
Or do I leave you?

Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew

Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

Just like my friend said
You were never good for me
So just go about your way
Don't worry about me
And just forget we ever happened

The time has come
To say goodbye
Don't ask why
Just let it all go
I've made it through, there's someone new

Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew

Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

Boy, I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
