I sit at my desk and I write the words down
Reading them back out, perfect the sound
Look in the mirror, rehearse all my lines
Make sure it comes out right the first time

I've been a little nervous, usually I'm not nervous
But I gotta do this fine, the way that make you see
It's best for both of us
You may not see it now

Oh

So, I take a deep breath and I say what I've gotta say
Thought I'd love you forever now I'm gonna give you away
But it hurts so bad
And I can't go back
Once I've crossed that line
So, never mind

Oh, no, no

I wonder if you could ever forgive me
We had this conversation on the phone
Wondering why my love has faded so quickly
I could've sworn you were the one

And I finally figured out that maybe it is me who's changed while you've always stayed the same
I was so in love that I couldn't see
You were a fantasy

Oh, baby

So, I take a deep breath and I say what I've gotta say
Thought I'd love you forever now I'm gonna give you away
But it hurts so bad
And I can't go back
Once I've crossed that line

There's that sadness in your eyes
That makes me wanna lie 'bout how I feel about you
And I saw the truth
It's lost in time
It's lost in time

Oh, yeah

So, I take a deep breath and I say what I've gotta say
Thought I'd love you forever now I'm gonna give you away
But it hurts so bad
And I can't go back
Once I've crossed that line
So, never mind

Oh, never mind, oh, no
Oh, never mind
Never mind what I was gonna say
