How do you love someone That hurts you oh so bad With intentions good Was all he ever had
But how do I let go When I've loved him for so long And I've given him all that I could
Maybe love is a hopeless crime Giving up what seems your life time What went wrong with something once so good
* How do you find the words to say To say goodbye If your heart don't have the heart to say To say goodbye
I know now I was naive Never knew where this would lead And I'm not trying to take away (Oh, no!) From the good man that he is
But how do I let go When I've loved him for so long And I've given him all that I could Was it something wrong that we did Because others infiltrated What went wrong with something once so good
* Repeat
Is this the end are you sure How should you know When you've never been here before It's so hard to just let go When this is the one And only love I've ever known So
Everyday I realize That this may be the last day of my life Walking down the street I find that I'm coming closer and closer to losing my mind
Cause when it rains, it pours Isn't life worth more? I don't even know what I'm hustlin' for You've gotta do what you gotta do just to make it through All the hard times that's gonna face you
*This is the life (this is the life) trying to survive This is the life (this is the lfie) trying to survive
