Understand

First thing, baby girl, that I am no longer your man.

That doesn't mean, you and me can't be the closest of friends

(And you know)

I even found myself a new girl

(You know)

Fallin' in love with my new girlfriend

Frankly, you know you'll always be in my heart

In my heart

But now



Things are different

You're being too good for me

Don't wanna second guess, baby I gotta be

You're not the girl I knew, now you're like someone new

No I don't want to leave, but I know what I gotta do



[Chorus:]

This is your song

Thanks for all the memories

This is your song

Thanks for everything we use to be

This is your song

Listen to it when I'm gone (When I'm gone)



Next thing you need to know that I ain't even tryin' compete

'Cause I'm your best friend

You should know that

No one can be what you are to me

(And I know)

You got some kind of me replacement

(You know)

I'm not the type that you can be replacin'

And I see, you never meant to be breakin' my heart

But it's hard

But now



Things are different

You're being too good for me

Don't wanna second guess, but baby I gotta be

You're not the girl I knew, now you're like someone new

No I don't want to leave but I know what I gotta do



[Chorus:]

This is your song

Thanks for all the memories

This is your song

Thanks for everything we use to be

This is your song (Hey)

Listen to it when I'm gone (When I'm gone)



You actin' good for me

Like you just too good for me

Better treat me better see

'Cause I'm going to be before for too long

This is your song

Listen to it when I'm gone



You actin' good for me

Like you just too good for me

Better treat me better see

'Cause I'm going to be before for too long

This is your song

Listen to it when I'm gone



[Chorus:]

This is your song

Thanks for all the memories

This is your song

Thanks for everything we use to be

(Everything we couldn't be)

This is your song

Listen to it when I'm gone



[Chorus:]

This is your song

(Things are different you're bein too good for me)

This is your song

This is your song

(You're not the girl I knew now your like someone new)

This is your song

Listen to it when I'm gone



Thanks for all the memories

Here's to everything we couldn't be

This is your song

Listen to it when I'm gone, yeah
