You say it?s better if we drift apart
Although you see that it?s breaking my heart
How can you leave me so lonely and blue
Knowing just how I?ve been counting on you
We once was so happy it all seems a shame
And do you feel like that I am to blame
Dear if I failed you oh please tell me now
And then maybe we can patch it up somehow
Now that I?ve lost you the whole world seems wrong
I don?t see how I can face it alone
For I?ve tried so hard to do right by you
And really I cared for you more than I knew
When I first met you I heard people say
That there?d come a time when you?d treat me this way
I did not believe them I just let them rave
Determined to stick by you clear to the grave
It would have been better had we never met
Then I would not have so much to forget
If I?d only dreamed dear that there?d come this day
Five years I could have used better some way
You say it?s better if we drift apart
Although you see that it?s breaking my heart
How can you leave me so lonely and blue
Knowing just how I?ve been counting on you
