You begged me to stop my fussin' 

There's something that needs discussin', 

You've been keeping inside you 

And it's high time I know 



There's no way to break it gently 

When you told me forever, 

It doesn't mean it wasn't true at the time, 

But it's time for you to go 



Am I readin' you right? 

Did you just turn out the light at the end 

of our ten year Tunnel of Love? 

Yeah, I know it's your hour of need- 

But what about me? 



I won't be the cage that holds you, 

I won't be the one who told you 

that you're making a mistake 

No Baby I've never been that kind 



And if you're sayin' that I've confined you, 

By all means go but let me remind you 

You can't change your world as easy 

as changin' your mind. 



What more do I have to give? 

Guess I'll just have to live with the thought 

My tears'll be setting you free 

And I hope you find all you seek- 

But what about me? 



What do you want me to say? 

Girl, you're walking away with 

The only dream I ever believed. 

You'll be livin' through leavin' us be 

But what about me? 



Well I know love don't come guaranteed- 

But what about me?
