[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 must 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 can do to keep from running after you
And though I wanted to
I let you walk away
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)

[Verse 3]
It's just a simple case of heartbreak
My hands begin to tremble and my knees shake
Somewhere along the line I hope we can make amends

[Verse 4]
I believe that nothing lasts forever
Promises won't help us stay together
You may come home one day
'Til then I 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 can do to keep from running after you
Though I wanted to
I let you walk away
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
As I watch you leave the room that I'll see you very soon
And it's all that I can do to keep from running after you
And though I wanted to
I let you walk away
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
Let you walk away
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)

[Outro]
Let you walk away
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
I let you walk away
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
Let you walk away
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
(Let you walk away, let you walk away)
