It brings me to tears
'Cause things didn't go the way we planned
Even though we said forever
But forever wasn't on our side
So now I have to say goodbye
And it hurts inside
Even though I know you're probably the best thing for me
Still I must go and face this road of Lonely
So, as I wipe this tears from my eyes
I want you to know I love you
So don't take it personal
I've got to be leavin'
Yes, I'm on my way
I've gotta go now
But I wish I could stay
And I wanna thank you for the times that you've been giving me
You see Ive got a long way to go
And it such a lonely road
If I make it through these days
Still be afraid of tomorrow
I'm not sure where I go
But you'll be on my mind, baby
All the time
Even though I know you're probably the best thing for me
Still I must go and face this road of Lonely
As I wipe this tears from my eyes
I want you to know I love you
So don't take it personal
I've gotta be leavin'
Yes I'm on my way
I've gotta go now but I wish I could stay
And I wanna thank you for the times that you've been giving me
You see Ive got a long way to go
And it such a lonely road
Sweetie, I have to go
And I know this isn't the way we planned things
But things aren't always the way you plan
You know, but I'm looking forward to coming back to you
And when I do, things are going to be just the way it used to be
I've gotta be leavin'
Yes I'm on my way
I've gotta go now but I wish I could stay
And I wanna thank you for the times that you've been giving me
You see Ive got a long way to go
And it such a lonely road
And it such a lonely road
And it such a lonely road
