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       Chorus:    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       Chorus       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       Chorus
