I don't love you
I can't love you
I won't love you anymore
Say your sorry
Say "Don't Worry"
Say "You'll learn to love once more"
But if you walk out that door
Don't come callin', anymore
And though we know this is goodbye
We can't end it, though we try
But each day we drag this out
I die a little inside
For I thought you were the one for me
The one to be my bride.
I don't love you
I can't love you
I won't love you anymore
Say your sorry
Say "Don't worry"
Say "You'll learn to love once more"
And where once I yearned for your call
I can't take them now at all
And those memories we've made
Now they sadly seem to fade.
That first kiss, that first held hand
The thrill of knowing I was your man
So if you ever loved me true
Say goodbye, I love you.
I'll still love you
I'll still want you
I'll still need you by my side
Yes, I'll miss you
Want to kiss you
But we won't be satisfied.
For now we have to say goodbye
With these tears in our eyes
And so this is where we part
Know I loved you from the start.
But our timing wasn't right
From that first kiss, that first night
And I'll miss you all my days
Till I'm old, lonely, and grey.
Yeah, I'll miss you all the more
If you love me, walk out the door.
Author notes
Wrote this while randomly singing aloud in my apartment. This is somewhat inspired by my real life situation and the way it feels when somebody you love has to say goodbye, but neither of you seem to be able to do it right. The way it drags out, the way it hurts you both, and the way it tarnishes what you had.
Please tell me what you think

having the right girl which gives you a feeling of it should be meant to be and then by circumstances turns out to be not...right girl...wrong time and situation...not too easy to deal with. I know the feeling so well.
I love the lyrics Chris
although it's sad to sing your heartbreak
guess might as well sing it...

Thanks! Lyrics are generally not my thing, so this was very much an experiment for me. Got the .mp3 here somewhere, haha.
