I've tried to tell you how I feel
But the words just don't get through
I wish I were brave enough to say
I'm no longer in love with you
I don't remember when it happened
Or even where it all went wrong
The tenderness and passion died
And the love I felt is gone
You may think I'm being hasty
But I've really thought it through
Guess I'm taking the coward's way out
By writing this note and leaving you
It's important that you understand
I'm not seeing anyone else
I've always been faithful to our vows
I have to do this for myself
You never noticed my depression
Neither have you seen my pain
Lovers have become strangers
And we both must share the blame
I know I may live to regret it
But it's a chance I have to take
So I can look forward to life again
And fill this empty, lonely ache
I can't get back the wasted years
Nor forget all the tears I've cried
But I only wish the best for you
As I lament a love that died
