Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to break your heart
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hopin' from the very start

But you kept on tryin'
And I knew that you'd end up cryin'
And I knew I didn't wanna have to do it at all

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again

Yeah, but then
No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end"

Was a time when I thought our love could fly
And never, never fall
Why should I suppose we were never really meant
To be close to each other at all?

Didn't wanna have to do it
Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it
Didn't wanna have to do it
I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again
Yeah, but then
No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end"
No, no, not the end
No, no, not the end
Oh I didn't want to have to do it
Oh I didn't want to have to do it
