I Told My Girl to Go Away

[Verse 1]
I told my girl to go away
She  asked me if I meant today
I  told her "No, I meant forever
I'd see her never, never again"

[Verse 2]
She grabbed my hand, I watched her cry
She  fought her tears and asked me why
"Without  you near, I think I'd die"
I heard her say "What can I do
To  make you stay?"

[Verse 3]
I told my girl to go away
The words I spoke were hard to say
The pain inside she could not see
How  could I tell her as much as I loved her
We'd never be

[Verse 4]
I'd overheard my mom and dad
I heard them say that they'd be glad
When she starts dating her own kind
She's still growing up, don't worry dear
She'll find out herself, let's not interfere

[Verse 5]
I told my girl to go away
I don't love you, I had to say
And then I died that day I lied
Now all my life I'll have to pay
For those two words I had to say
"Go away"

[Outro]
I told my girl to go away
I told my girl to go away
I told my girl to go away
