it's funny 'cause for a while
i walked around with a smile
but deep inside i could hear voices telling me this ain't right
don't you know it's not for you
i always knew what i had to do
but it's hard to get away
because i love you
i just tried to stay

[Refrain] :
i used to say i couldn't do it
but i did it
after telling everybody that i wasn't with it
though it brings tears to my eyes
i can feel it
and i know inside i'm gonna be alright
i said i couldn't do it
but i did it
after telling evreybody that i wasn't with it
though it brings tears to my eyes
i can feel it
and that voice inside says im gonna be alright

friends of mine say to me
they say you got control over me
you're not alone
i played a part
i saw the way you were from the start
could i expect so much from you
you had a girl when i first met you
did the best that you could do
now i realize that i can't change you

[Refrain]

said i wouldn't walk away
somedays i want to stay
but leaving you is what i need to do to be okay
never thought it would be true
me livin' without you
but now it's time for me to make a move

[Refrain]
