Well it sure feels like Im dyin
As I watch you packin up your pretty things
I keep hopin that Ill wake up
And find out this is all just some bad dream
I wish I could talk you out of your goodbye
And if I thought I stood a half a chance Id try
But Ill surrender to your wish and let you go
Knowin well theres nothin else that I can do
I could no more hold you here
With my love or with my tears
Than I could try to hold down the moon
And it sure feels like rejection
Even though you say the problem isnt me
Youre goin off in search of somethin
That you think you cant find unless youre free
I already dread the nights Ill spend alone
And the worst of it wont hit me till youre gone
But Ill surrender to your wish and let you go
Knowin well theres nothin else that I can do
Cause I could no more hold you here
With my love or with my tears
Than I could try to hold down the moon
Ooh I could no more hold you here
With my love or with my tears
Than I could try to hold down the moon
