I didn´t want to have to make you cry
I didn´t want to say goodbye
I couldn´t bare to face the truth
But I was me and you were you
I didn´t want to have to let you down

I didn´t want to hang around
Pretending we would make it through
Cause you lost me and I lost you

I´m by myself
My heart is shaken
Was I mistaken
By leaving today
Beside myself
Our love is faded
I´m slowly breaking away

I didn´t want to have to start and then
I didn´t want to face the end
I didn´t want to hold the pain
I can´t afford to feel again
But this is where I´m in my life
And I know somehow I´ll get by

I didn´t want to feel the cold
But Babe, I have to let you go

I´m by myself
My heart is shaken
Was I mistaken
By leaving today
Beside myself
Our love is faded
I´m slowly breaking away

Forgive me if I´ve never
Got to say I´m sorry
Forgive me girl
Cause I won´t be around

I´m by myself
Beside myself

Our love is faded
I´m slowly breaking away

I´m by myself
My heart is shaken
Was I mistaken
By leaving today
Beside myself
Our love is faded
I´m slowly breaking away
