[Verse 1]
I believe that nothing lasts forever
Promises won't help us stay together
Life for us was never hearts and flowers, my friend

[Verse 2]
It's sad to think we couldn't solve our problems
Maybe it's because we tried so seldom
So much will change today
That I can only hope and pray

[Chorus]
As I watch you leave the room that I'll see you very soon
And it's all that I could do to keep from running after you
And though I wanted to
I let you walk away

[Verse 3]
It's just a simple case of heartbreak
My hands begin to tremble and my knees shake
But in my heart I pray
I've shown you a brighter day

[Chorus]
As you turn to leave the room I hope I'll see you very soon
And it's all that I could do to keep from running after you
And though I wanted to
I let you walk away
As you turn to leave the room I hope I'll see you very soon
And it's all that I could do to keep from running after you
And though I wanted to, although I wanted to
I let you walk away
I let you walk away
I let you walk away
[Outro]
I let you walk away
I let you walk away
I let you walk away
