[Verse i]
I'm reading your "dear john";
It says you're moving on
You need your space, you need some time
And greener grass you seek to find
I saw it from afar
I knew it in my heart
The happiness had gone away
Pretended we would be ok
[hook]
For every time you've made me cry
I gotta sit and wonder why
I love you, I still do
I need you, I always will
I want you to hold me tight
I need you with me tonight
I still do
[verse ii]
Why do I hold on?
Why can't I be strong?
I know it's time to walk away
But still inside I hope and pray
That you'll return to me
My eyes too blind to see
That love should never bring me pain
I know I can't go on this way
[bridge]
I gotta wipe away the tears
I gotta stand and face my fears
I gotta love myself enough to make it better
The woman that I used to be
I know she's still inside of me
I'll find a way to breathe again
This won't be how my story ends
