I have known you my whole life,
When you were ten, you said you'd make me your wife,
Eight years later you won me over,
Just as I took the world on my shoulders.

I got used to living without you,
Endless phone calls and dreaming about you,
Always said that you were my man to be,
But I guess I was in love with your memory.

I know I said that I would keep my word,
I wished that I could save you from the hurt,
But things will never go back to how we were,
I'm sorry I can't be your world.

The way you're holding on to me,
Makes me feel like I can't breathe,
Just let me go, just let me go,
It just won't feel right inside,
God knows I've tried.

You know I love you, I really do.
But I can't fight anymore for you,
And I don't know, maybe we'll be together again,
Sometime, in another life.
