i didn't wanna 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 wanna have to let you down
i didn't want to hang around
pretending we'd would make it through
cuz you lost me and i lost you

i'm by myself
my heart is shakin
was i mistaken bout leavin today
beside myself
our love is fadin
i'm slowly breakin away

i didn't wanna 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

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 u go

i'm by myself
my heart is shakin
was i mistaken bout leavin today
beside myself
our love is fadin
i'm slowly breakin away

forgiven me if i've never got 2 say i'm sorry
forgive me girl cuz i wont be around

i'm by myself
beside myself
our love is fadin
i'm slowly breakin away

i'm by myself
my heart is shakin
was i mistaken bout leavin today
beside myself
our love is fadin
i'm slowly breakin away

i didn't wanna have to make you c
