My heart can't take it, when I think about you
For I know we wont make it, a lifetime through
So, no, I won't get up, to stand by your side
The pain is too great, its too hard to hide
  
You swear I can trust you, you'll always be true
But so said my last love, and all before you
You may call me a coward, and perhaps it is fear
But the pain is too great, its too hard to bear
  
I wish it were different, that I could believe
That you will stay with me, that you'll never leave
I'd open my heart wide, grab hold of your hand
But the pain is too great, its too hard to stand
  
Perhaps I'll look back, and regret what I've done
Perhaps you're my true love, perhaps you're the one.
So I wish I could stay, with all of my might
But the pain is too great, its too hard to fight
  
So I'll now say goodbye: farewell my amour.
You'll find someone else, of that I am sure.
If I am ever asked why, I'll always state:
The pain was too great, it was too hard to take
