Lyrics
You know the reasons I have to go
You are aware of the reasons why I need to leave.
I can't keep coming to you
I cannot continue seeking solace from you.
You've got another waiting for you
You have someone else waiting for your attention.
Don't make this so hard to do
Don't complicate the separation process.
I'll love you forever--What good does it do
Expressing eternal love seems futile.
To say those words over again
Repeating those words doesn't bring any positive change.
When every time they just get in the way
Each time they are spoken, they hinder rather than help.
Make me want what might have been
Evokes a desire for what could have been.
I'm leaving now
Decision to leave is finalized.
So don't try to hold me
Requesting not to impede the departure.
I want to believe
Hoping to believe the untruths previously spoken.
The lies that you told me
Referring to deceptive statements made by the partner.
You know the reasons I'm going away
Reiterating the known reasons for departure.
Just give me a reason to stay
Pleading for a compelling reason to stay.
You say that you don't love her anymore
Denial of love for the other person, but skepticism is expressed.
But I'm pretty sure that you do
Doubt about the sincerity of the denial.
I see the faraway look in your eyes
Observation of a distant gaze when the partner thinks of the other.
When you know she's waiting for you
Acknowledging the presence of someone else in the partner's life.
So all I can do is walk out the door
Resignation to leaving and letting go of the past.
And try to forget what we had
Attempting to forget the shared memories.
We had so many, many good times
Recalling numerous positive experiences.
I'll try to remember the bad
Focusing on the negative aspects to ease the departure.
I'm leaving now
Reaffirmation of the decision to leave.
So don't try to hold me
Requesting not to resist the departure.
I want to believe
Expressing a desire to believe the false statements.
The lies that you told me
Referring to previous deceptive communication.
You know the reasons I'm going away
Reiterating the known reasons for the imminent departure.
Just give me a reason to stay
Pleading for a convincing reason to reconsider the departure.
You know all the reasons I'm going away
Reiteration of the acknowledged reasons for leaving.
Just give me a reason to stay
Pleading once again for a compelling reason to stay.
