Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Don't feel like I know you and that's strange
Right before my eyes, I watched you change
Once upon a time I really felt you were mine
But lately I'm thinking our love's on the borderline
I tell myself that things will be okay
But loving you gets harder every day
I don't like imagining me without you, but, babe
You didn't think I, myself, would never have chose (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
So I gotta let you go
'Cause I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me, but leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
So I gotta let you go
I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me, but leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
And I'm happily unhappy
Unhappily in love
[Verse 2]
When the trust of love starts to disappear
I settle in, there's nothing left at all to feel
I try to be strong now, I don't want to hold on
To your love when I know it only keeps bringing me down
Now I'm waiting in the calm before the storm
Believe me when I say I'm not trying to break your heart, no
'Cause I'm letting the tears speak 'cause my love is sincere
Driving me crazy, driving me crazy, baby, can't be without you no more
[Chorus]
So I think I gotta let you go (Go, go, gotta let you go)
'Cause I don't wanna cry no more (Don't wanna cry, don't wanna cry no more, no)
Because loving you is killing me, but leaving you would hurt me more (It hurts, baby)
I guess I'm still in love
So I gotta let you go (Oh, woah, boy)
Don't wanna cry no more (No more, no more)
Because loving you is killing me, but leaving you would hurt me more
And I guess I'm still in love
And I'm happily unhappy
Unhappily in love (Ooh-ooh, yeah, yeah)
[Instrumental]
Oh, where did we go wrong? I'm tired of singing sad love songs
I tried so hard to be to be, to be the girl you want
And I've been hurting so long, but the love we had is gone
I think it's time we move on, but I gotta be strong
[Chorus]
So I gotta let you go (Let you go, baby)
I don't wanna cry no more, no more, more (Don't wanna cry no more)
Because loving you is killing me, but leaving you would hurt me more
No, baby, don't wanna be in love no more
So I gotta let you go
'Cause I don't wanna cry no more, no more, no more, no more
Because loving you is killing me, but leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
And I'm happily unhappy
Unhappily in love
[Outro]
Oh, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, don't wanna
Unhappy in love
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
