Did the distance get too much?
Have we fallen out of touch?
Have you fallen for another man?
Who claims to understand?
I bet he says all the right things,
That he'll let you live your dreams,
And that he will never hold you down,
Well I never meant to hold you down.
Wherever you are tonight oh,
I hope that he treats you right.
I pray he will love you more,
And that happiness will be yours.
So we'll say our last goodbyes,
And heaven knows we tried,
But sometimes these things aren't meant to be,
But I'll treasure our time through memory.
So I'll pick myself back up,
And in grace and love I'll trust,
To repair a world that's come apart,
And to re-amend a broken heart.
Wherever you are tonight oh,
I hope that he treats you right.
I pray he will love you more,
And that happiness will be yours.
I forgive you through this song,
I'm amazed you stayed so long,
And I thank you for the years we shared,
For you gave me joy beyond compare.
I bet he says all the right things,
That he'll let you live your dreams,
And that he will never hold you down,
Well I never meant to hold you down.
Wherever you are tonight oh,
I hope that he treats you right
I pray he will love you more,
And that happiness will be yours.
I forgive you through this song,
I'm amazed you stayed so long,
And I thank you for the years we shared,
For you gave me joy beyond compare.
