Wish I could be the one, the one who could give you love
The kind of love you really need
Wish I could say to you that I'll always stay with you, but, baby, that's not me
I wish I could tell you that I'll always be by your side, but, baby, that's not me
You need someone willing to give their heart and soul to you
You need someone who is ready to give their heart and soul to you
Promise you forever, baby, that's something I can't do
Oh, I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only end up hurting you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needin'
I'm not the one you require
I love you, goodbye
I hope someday you can find some way to understand I'm only doing this for you
I don't really wanna go but deep in my heart I know this is the kindest thing to do
You'll find someone who'll be the one that I could never be
Who'll give you something better than the love you'll find with me
Oh, I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a crime
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needin'
I love you, goodbye
Leaving someone when you love someone is the hardest thing to do
When you love someone as much as I love you
Oh, I don't wanna leave you
Baby, it tears me up inside but I'll never be the one you're needin'
Baby, it tears me apart inside but I'll never be the one you need
I love you, goodbye
Baby, it's never gonna work out
I love you, goodbye
