We both know that I shouldn't be here, this is wrong And baby it's killing me, it's killing you, but both of us gotta to be strong I've got somewhere else to be Promises to keep Someone else who loves me And trusted me fast asleep I've made up my mind There is no turning back She's been good to me And she deserves better than that It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do To look you in the eye And tell you I don't love you It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie To show no emotion When you start to cry I can't let you see What you mean to me when my hands are tied And my hearts not free? We're not meant to be It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do To turn around and walk away Pretending I don't love you I know we'll meet again Fate has a place and time So you can get on with your life I've got to be cruel to be kind When I got to Chicago All my love I'll be sending And you'll never know 'Cause there can be no happy ending It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do To look you in the eye And tell you I don't love you It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie To show no emotion When you start to cry I can't let you see What you mean to me when my hands are tied And my hearts not free? We're not meant to be It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do (yes, it is) To turn around and walk away Pretending I don't love you Maybe another time, another day As much as I want to, I can't stay I've made up my mind There's no turning back She's been good to be And she deserves better than that It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do (oh, oh) To look you in the eye And tell you I don't love you It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to lie To show no emotion When you start to cry I can't let you see What you mean to me when my hands are tied And my hearts not free? We're not meant to be It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do (oh, oh) To turn around and walk away Pretending I don't love you
