You keep saying you love me and I know it's not true

You just don't want to hurt me I respect that in you

You're in love with another and you won't let it show

Oh I hate to admit it but it's sure my heart knows

I thought I'd won when he lost you I thought you'd forget

But there's still one old mem'ry that you haven't lost yet

I know I'd die when I lose you I know I won't let you go

For you'd never be happy this is true my heart knows

[ steel ]

So goodbye and God bless you I'm setting you free

Just to know you'd be happy means so much to me

I know I'd die when I lose you I know I must let you go

For you'll never be happy this is true my heart knows
