i didn't wanna have to start and then
i didn't want to face the end
i didn't want to hold the pain

i didn't want to feel the cold
but babe i have to let u go

i'm by myself
my heart is shakin

beside myself
our love is fadin
i'm slowly breakin away

i'm by myself
beside myself
our love is fadin
i'm slowly breakin away

i'm by myself
my heart is shakin
was i mistaken bout leavin today
beside myself
our love is fadin
i'm slowly breakin away
