He has to tell her something she doesn't want to hear
It tears him up inside to know how she will feel
Those few words he knows will drag her down
But he can't take lying about his feelings all the time
And he said
I don't love you like you think I do
I can't be the one that's in love with you
I know how much you care and how I said I'd be there
But I think I've lost the real you
And I can't help but to walk away
Cuz I know that you're in a lot of pain
I just wish once we could have kissed
But now you're long gone
He sees her as he walks down the long hall
She's changed so much he doesn't know her at all
She looks at him with numbness in her eyes
He walks off he starts to cry
Her faith is gone and all he hears
Is her singing them songs just for him
He knows the mistake he made
When he said
Repeat chorus
Now she's in the paper a few years down the line
She graduated the best in town
But he can't help to notice the picture that she's in
No smile is across her lips
And her eyes are sad again
He knows that it's his fault
He didn't want to share his life with her
He lied when he said he didn't love her
And now she's gone again
I'm sorry that I lied to you about how I feel
I guess you never know what you have and what is really real
I'm sorry I never married you like I truly wanted
God please tell her
That I love you and I'm sorry
God please tell her that
I love you and I'm sorry
And he finally said to her
I love you darling
