When you left, I never thought I'd say

I'm alright without you anyway

But just because I say the words

Don't mean I think they're true

It's just that it's the best that I can do



I don't go to places you might be

I can't take the chance that we might meet

But just because I've stayed away

Don't mean I wanted to

It's just that it's the best that I can do



Someday I'll do better, but till then

I can't let you know how hurt I've been

I wish I had you back with me

But I won't play on your sympathy

To get you in my arms once again



I admit there are others I have seen

Sometimes I need the company

But just because I'm loving them

Don't mean I'm over you

It's just that it's the best that I can do
