(Dolly Parton)
Hardest thing I've ever done, or that I'll ever do
Was to just walk off and leave you, but I knew I had to leave you
Cause I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me
The worst pain I've ever known, or that I'll ever know
Was to see your love a dying, and I have to watch it dying
And I couldn't stand to watch you falling out of love with me
It's hurting now but still it's better, I left while love was still alive
It was dying and I'd rather, I didn't have to watch it die
The deepest hurt I've ever felt, or that I'll ever feel
Was to know that I was losing, and I tried but I keep losing
And I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me
The loneliest I've ever been, or that I'll ever be
Is now that I'm without you, and I feel so lost without you
But I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me
It's hurting now but still it's better, I left while love was still alive
It was dying and I'd rather, I didn't have to watch it die
It was dying and I'd rather, I didn't have to watch it die
