| I was telling you about a boy
|
| Who struggled to breath
|
| The air got thinner when he walked my way
|
| And got closer to me
|
| I could break his heart only I knew how
|
| I could build him up and then I’d lay him down
|
| With all that I’ve done (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| How could he know?
|
| It’s so hard for me letting him go (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| I meant to be kind but I had to be cruel (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| There came a time
|
| When it was up to me, down to me (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| I had to bear letting him go
|
| I can’t talk about it anymore (Ooh, ooh)
|
| His hold on me
|
| People tell me that I must forgive and try to believe (Ooh, ooh)
|
| We’re just strangers now that will never meet (Ooh, ooh)
|
| He’s much safer now (Ooh)
|
| He’s away from me (Ooh)
|
| With all that I’ve done (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| How could he know?
|
| It’s so hard for me letting him go (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| I meant to be kind but I had to be cruel (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| There came a time
|
| When it was up to me, down to me (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| I had to bear letting him go
|
| (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| With all that I’ve done (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| How could he know?
|
| It’s so hard for me letting him go (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| I meant to be kind but I had to be cruel (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| There came a time
|
| When it was up to me, down to me (Ah, oh, oh)
|
| I had to bear letting him go |
