You once told me you’d be with me forever,
And you said that you would never leave my side.
Now you’re telling me that we can’t stay together,
And now I’m losing track of all these tears I’ve cried.
Take another good look at me
Before you say goodbye.
Then maybe give me the luxury
Of explaining just why
You had to ever start hurting me
And leave me here to cry.
Take another good look at me
Before you say goodbye.
I just can’t believe that you would ever leave me.
I imagined us together for all time.
If I said that I could change, would you believe me,
And allow me to persuade you to be mine?
