Lyric
I can’t believe it’s really me telling you goodbyeBut, I’ve run out of reasons to defend your alibisI can’t go on pretending everything is still okayNow, I know the truth behind all the games you’ve playedIt wouldn’t be so hard for me to turn my heart awayIf I didn’t love you.Looking back, it’s easy now, for me to understandWhy you got so angry when I asked you where you’d beenYou told me my suspicions were only jealousyAnd, you used the way I trusted you to make a fool of meYou closed my eyes to lies that I could never have believedIf I didn’t love you.If I didn’t love youI’d have walked away a long, long time agoIf I didn’t love youI never would have let you hurt me so.Now, the time has come for me to tell you that we’re throughLeave this broken dream behind, and go find someone newI can see that it would be an easy thing to doIf I didn’t love you.If I didn’t love youI’d have walked away a long, long time agoIf I didn’t love youI never would have let you hurt me so.If I didn’t love you.If I didn’t love you.If I didn’t love you
