Text:
I’ll pack up all my things and walk away
I don’t want to hear another word you have to say
I’ve been waiting for so long (so long)
I just found out there’s something wrong (something is wrong)
And nothing will get better if I stay
There’s no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I’m walking out the door (out the door)
You used me, you deceived me
And you never seemed to need me
But I’ll bet you won’t forget me when I go (oh, no, no, no)
Seems I’ve been lost in a dream
Pretending that you care
And now I’ve opened up my eyes
And found it’s all been just a great big fairytale
I’ve been lovin’ you so long (I’ve loved so long)
I don’t think I even know how to forget you
Yeah, the way that things have been
I think I’m better off alone
Than to be with you
There’s no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I’m walking out the door (out the door)
Yeah, you used me, you deceived me
And you never seemed to need me
But I’ll bet you won’t forget me when I go (oh, no, no, no)
Seems like I’ve been lost in a dream
Yeah, pretending you were mine
Someday you’ll open up your eyes
And realize a good man is hard to find
