And now, our end has come
It came to soon, we had our fun
Throughout the the years, I stood by your side
There you were so close to mine
But time has a funny way
To change and shape the man I am today
I try to find comfort in I know I need this too
To distance myself so far from you
Throughout the years we lived and laughed and cried
It breaks my heart to say you must do it alone this time
I listen to Sinatra say
He lived a life in his own way
To you sir I tip my hat
I never knew the pain in that
I'll struggle now, as I'll struggle through the years
I am now facing my deepest fears
I never planned this to come
I wanted to share the fading moon and rising sun
I beg you to please know
That I'm the one who chose to go
I'm hurting deep inside
Reflecting on the times we laughed and cried
I'm just trying to do what I know is best
But God knows this is my greatest test
To hurt the one who I stood beside
I was your best friend as you are still mine
I'm sorry it came to this
I'm sorry I'm not there to kiss
Every tear and mend the heart I broke
I know my actions were harsher than the words I spoke
So to you I'll finally say
Though I love you now today
I will always be here for you to confide
But I can't stay anymore at your side
I broke both our hearts
To say the hardest part
Even though I cry today
I'll live and laugh my way
