From the first I realized our chance was small
Any fool could see that we
Had little or no hope at all
My past holds many memories
Too hard for you to face
I always knew someday our love
Would reach a stopping place

I know you'd take what's left of me
But I won't ask you to
I'm not tired of loving
I'm just tired of hurting you

To do the thing that's best for you
I'll let you go
To stay with you the way things are
Would hurt you more I know
It hurts to think that someone new
Will mend your broken heart
And this end we're coming to is pulling me apart

Don't think I've come to love you less
Or what I have to do
I'm not tired of loving
I'm just tired of hurting you
No I'm not tired of loving
I'm just tired of hurting you
