Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Wish I could be the one
The one who could give you love
The kind of love you really need
Wish I could say to you
That I'll always stay with you
[Verse 2]
But, baby, that's not me
You need someone willing to give
Their heart and soul to you
Promise you forever
Baby, that's something I can't do
[Chorus]
Oh, I could say
That I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye
[Verse 3]
I hope someday you can
Find someway to understand
I'm only doing this for you
I don't really want to go
But deep in my heart I know
This is the kindest thing to do
[Verse 4]
You'll find someone who'll be the one
That I could never be
Who'll give you something better
Than the love you'll find with me
[Chorus]
Oh, I could say
That I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye
[Bridge]
Leaving someone
When you love someone
Is the hardest thing to do
When you love someone
As much as I love you
[Chorus]
Oh, I don't wanna leave you
Baby, it tears me up inside
I'll never be the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye
[Outro]
Baby, it's never gonna work out
I love you, goodbye
