A Little at a Time

He doesn't know that everything is changed
He still says he loves me, but now he looks away
And more than that, he says less and less each day
He's telling me goodbye a little at a time
I can see it in his eyes
I can feel it in his touch
I hear it in his voice, but he don't say much
In the quiet moments after we make love, he's telling me goodbye a little at a time
If he believes by slowing letting go somehow it doesn't show, he's wrong
No way for him to hide what's going on. I know. I know
He might get away with lying to himself, but I know him better than anyone else
He won't admit it, but his heart's already left
He's telling me goodbye a little at a time
No way for him to hide what's going on. I know. I know
Why do I hesitate. Why don't I set him free?
Just bring it to an end and just let him leave
Maybe deep down in my heart the truth could be I'm telling him goodbye a little time
Yeah, I'm telling him goodbye a little at a time
