A song about the pain of breaking up.

You want to leave. You want to stay. 
You want to understand how love can fade away. 
You're telling me you think your love is gone. 
And I can see it's up to me to try to carry on. 

I don't understand. I've got so much confusion here. 
What once seemed like forever didn't last the year. 
It's not clear to me what it was all about. 
But I know leavin' seems a lousy way to try to work things out. 

I don't know what it is that I should do. 
I just can't picture me without you. 
I wish that there was something I could say. 
I guess it wouldn't matter, anyway. 

'Cause you're going to do what you think you have to do. 
And you're leavin', that's what all the signs are pointing to. 
And it's time for me to start to face the fact 
That it's a hopeless dream to think you're ever coming back. 

I don't know what it is that I should do... 

You wanted out. You were looking for a smoother ride. 
Well, smooth can only come if you have distance. 
It wasn't always easy, living closely side-by-side. 
But we only will get stronger with a little resistance. 

You say goodbye, and I watch you go. 
And you take more of me with you than you'll ever know. 
You say time will heal, and life goes on. 
But I can feel, it's very real, some of the hope is gone. 

I don't know what it is that I should do...
