Not For Me

I said in time I’d convince you I loved you, But I guess that I ran out of time. Now as I see you walk through the doorway, I can see there are no tears in your eyes. I guess any fool could see that it’s over, And this will be the final time you say goodbye. You can say that it’s over, and it’s best that we are free, But if you do, speak for yourself, and not for me. I was happy to be with you, and perhaps in time you’ll see That this may be best for you, but not for me. I can try to tell myself I’ll forget you, But deep inside, I think we both already know That you’ll always be here in my memory, And that’s something that I can’t let go. So I guess that I’ll try to go on now, And do the best I can here on my own. I am sure the hardest part will be the mornings When I wake to find that I am all alone. You can say that it’s over, and it’s best that we are free, But if you do, speak for yourself, and not for me. I was happy to be with you, and perhaps in time you’ll see That this may be best for you, but not for me. I guess that I should have listened To you whenever you tried to say That you would be leaving me lonely Unless I somehow changed my ways. Now that you are gone I remember All the times that you tried to set me straight, And now every night I’m reminded That you’re gone, and it’s already too late. You can say that it’s over, and it’s best that we are free, But if you do, speak for yourself, and not for me. I was happy to be with you, and perhaps in time you’ll see That this may be best for you, but not for me.
