I know this is going to be hard,
It'll hurt me as much as it hurts you.
But I can't lie to myself anymore,
I owe it to both of us to be true.
I don't know how it turned out this way,
I don't even know where to start.
All I know is that I can't lie to me,
And I can't lie to my heart.
I really did love you,
And I promise I still do.
I just don't feel the same way,
That I used to.
It's not fair to either one of us,
For me to show feelings that aren't really there.
I just don't have the same love in my heart,
But I still without a doubt care.
I'm not saying this is permanent,
I just think it's best for now.
I don't know when my heart changed,
I don't really even know how.
I don't want to hurt you,
But this is the only way.
I want us to stay best friends,
I hope you'll be okay.
I need you in my life,
And I still love you so,
I just don't love you the same way,
I wish there was an easier way to go.
I hope that you can hear me out,
Please try to understand.
I've tried so hard to make it easy,
I have done the best I can.
We can still talk like we used to,
There's just some things we can't say,
I guess I've been as clear as I can,
So I'll just hug you and walk away.
