I've decided to let go
You never knew I loved you
You'll never know
What I went through
I've decided to walk away
Because you and me
We're going two different ways
We were never meant to be
Any more than friends
Because you can't love me like I need
And I can't settle for less
You can't be the man I need
And I don't want second-best
You can't fix my broken pieces
And I don't think I could fix yours
And so I stopped feeling
The things I felt for years
I'll still feel it sometimes
And I'll remember us
But even that will fade with time
For once I have to put
I have to put my needs first
And I know that
We would never work
So I'm drying these tears
And I'm walking away
Because over the years
We just can't stay
Stay where we are
And hope for the best
And a love that could never
Have stood the test
So I'm walking away
And these tears have dried
And I'm saying goodbye
To a love based solely on a memory.
