I could have loved you in time
But I don't have much time, even to myself
You think I'm here to stay but I know
That the winds are gonna change
And my heart will feel the pain of wanting something else

So let me apologize ahead
'Cause I'm gonna break your heart tonight instead

I'm gonna break your heart
I'm gonna break your heart
Quiet and softly
You're better off without me

You're trying to pull me in, but you're pushing us apart
I cannot touch you without setting your hopes on fire
So please, oh please hear me every word I say
I promise you, oh I promise you I'm gonna let you down in every way

I'm gonna break your heart
I'm gonna break your heart
Quiet and softly
You're better off without me
