Why do you go on pretending
 You know you want to be free
 Darling, you know I'll let you go
 You'd do the same for me

 I understand
 And darling, you are not to blame
 If when we kiss it's not the same
 I understand
 It's not your fault because your heart has changed it's mind
 You didn't mean to be unkind
 I understand
 Forgetting you will be far from easy
 I've grown so used to your charms
 I'll miss that old thrill and no one can fill
 The place here in my arms
 But if you find our love was really meant to be
 Then darling, hurry back to me
 And I'll understand

 If when we kiss it's not the same
 I understand.

 The place here in my arms
