FALLING OUT OF LOVE WITH ME
Writer Dolly Parton
Copyright 1976
The hardest thing I've ever done or that I'll ever do
Was to just walk off and leave you but I knew I had to leave you
Cause I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me
The worst pain that I've ever known or that I'll ever know
Was to see your love a dying and to have to watch it dying
And I couldn't stand to watch you falling out of love with me
It's hurtin' now but still it's better I left while love was still alive
It was dying and I'd rather I didn't have to watch it die
The deepest hurt I've ever felt or that I'll ever feel
Was to know that I was losing and I tried but I kept losing
And I couldn't stay to watch you falling out of love with me
The loneliest I've ever been or that I'll ever be
Is now that I'm without you and I feel so lost without you
But I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me
I'm crying now but still it's better I left while love was still alive
But it was dying and I'd rather I didn't have to watch it die
