[Intro] Okay, thanks [Verse 1] The moment that I write this song It's like admitting you're gone And that you don't belong to me anymore In a single moment it seems My plans have exploded at the seams Now that I don't belong to you anymore With each line I guess I'll start to heal But I don't wanna write this song Not ready to move on from a pain whose wholeness I am just starting to feel From the moment that you told me Up in your bed in your room that morning A bed that was mine too for a time, for and from those moments I'm still mourning And as I get further on, through this song, line by line I cry a little bit less each time Slowly accepting the fact that you're no longer mine [Chorus] And I don't believe you when you say That you don't love me anymore And I can't believe that you'd just ride away Leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying And I know I know I know I know I know I know I know That I have to let you go But I'm not ready Not ready to let you go If you want to I can't stop you But baby Please don't go [Verse 2] I'm not exactly doing fine But I'm much better than I thought I'd be Maybe I learned how to hide my emotions from you You can be cold and hard-lined You bottle up everything inside So many bottles baby you better not fall over But you were so sweet and kind Your arms are still open wide You're still holding my hand You're still by my side And I can't do this, I can't do it I think you still love me I don't believe you, I won't believe you but then you tell me that you wanna be with someone new And while I'm on about this Let me apologise for that last stolen kiss You were so drunk but it was too good to miss Baby, no wait I can't call you that anymore At least I can still call you that's better than not seeing you at all maybe You're so stubborn I know I can't push you But I don't want to lose you Dude, let me tell you, friends aren't supposed to get as friendly as you do [Chorus] And I don't believe you when you say That you don't love me anymore And I can't believe that you'd just ride away Leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying And I know I know I know I know I know I know I know That I have to let you go But I'm not ready Not ready to let you go And if you want to I can't stop you But baby Please don't go [Verse 3] The moment that I write this song It means it's all gone wrong The moment has gone The moment, the moment has passed I thought it would last I wish I'd learned how to write about happiness while I still had the chance And as I get further on, through this song, line by line I cry a little bit less each time Slowly accepting the fact that you're no longer mine [Chorus] I don't want to believe you when you say That you don't love me anymore And I can't believe that you'd just ride away Leaving me on your front lawn alone and crying And I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I noticed that [Outro] While you left me somehow You're still holding my hand You're still dancing with me And it helps to think that we Still have things to laugh and skip about Thank you for giving me something so beautiful It hurts this much to live without Baby Please don't go
