We've hurt too much to go on anymore
It's my love for you that leads me to the door
I'd rather go remembering our love as something great
Than stay and watch it all turn to hate

And heaven knows the nights to come are gonna be lonely
But with every dawn
I'll find the strength to say
The chains of love that bind me to your memory
Won't hold the part that's breaking away

It's sad to say
But all that now remains
Is the need to know we haven't loved in vain
And though the door is closing on all the love we made
I'd love to hold you close for old time sake

And heaven knows the nights to come are gonna be lonely
But with every dawn
I'll find the strength to say
The chains of love that bind me to your memory
Won't hold the part that's breaking away
Won't hold the part that's breaking away
