Love Based On A Memory

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.
