I can say that we are through
And I will almost mean it
But simple words just can't undo
All the ties between us
Part of me will hang on
Long after you're gone
Though it's the right thing
For you, I know
I can watch you leave
But I can't let you go
Chorus:
I will be your friend
And I will dry your tears
Though I won't be the one you give
Your love to through the years
And I will do my best
