Today I felt a pain inside my heart
Thought of leaving you was on my mind
If I've been deceiving you, it's all because I'm blind
'Cause I care for you more than you know, oh lady
Although my heart says, "Go"

Today I saw the tears inside your eyes
Thought of hurting you, I'd rather die
If I'm deserting you, I don't mean to make you cry
'Cause I care for you more than you know, ever know
Although my heart says

How do you tell the one you love goodbye for good?
Or even know if you should?
And how do you say the words you thought you never could
When you promised her that your love was true
Said, I'd never think of leaving you?

Tell me, how can love be cruel?
Oh, I wanna know, I wanna know, I wanna know, hey baby

Today I felt a pain inside my heart
The thought of leaving you had crossed my mind
If I've been deceiving you, baby, it's all 'cause I'm blind
'Cause I care for you more than you know, oh baby
Although my heart says

How do you tell the one you love goodbye for good?
Or even know if you should?
And how do you say the words you thought you never could
Promised her your love was true
Never think of leaving you, baby

How can love
I want to know baby
How can love
I want to know lady

How can you live a lie
When you know it's wrong and you know it's not right?
When you say you do but you know you don't?
When you say that you will but you know that you won't?

When you're not alive you shouldn't let it die
Just let go, let it go, all the pain that's inside
Tell me, how do you know? Tell me how to let go
Tell me how, how, how, how, how, how?

How do you tell the one you love goodbye for good?
Or even know if you should?
And how do you say the words you thought you never could
Promised her your love was true
Never think of leaving you

How can love be cruel? Oh baby
