Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say that you would like to try again
You'd open up your heart and let us back in
Well, part of me wants to so bad, I can't stand it
Part of me wants to be perfectly candid
[Chorus]
I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't, but I want to
I'd love to say, "Yes," but it's best if I don't
Though I'd like to
I love you enough that I'm letting you go
I love you so much that I'm telling you, "No"
I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't, but I want to
[Verse 2]
You're telling me things would be different this time
I wish your change of heart would change my mind
I want to believe you
I'd try us again
If I really believed there was some future in it
[Chorus]
I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't, but I want to
I'd love to say, "Yes," but it's best if I don't
Though I'd like to
I love you enough that I'm letting you go
I love you so much that I'm telling you, "No"
I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't
I would if I could
I do and I don't
[Outro]
I would if I could
But I can't, so I won't
But I want to
