Gave you the best

Best years of my life and i

Gave you a woman

Who stood by your side

Through all your ups and downs

Your rights and all your wrongs

And god knows there were wrongs

I should've been long gone, but when i

Made you that promise

For better or worse i said i'd

Stand by your side

I swallowed my pride

And now you're asking me to understand

And i'm telling you i can't

Why should icare about your feelings

When you don't give a damn about mine



And i don't want to know

I couldn't care less about your feelings

Don't you know

You should've cared about mine

And i don't want to know

It really doesn't matter why you're leavin'

You should know

You're really throwin' away your life

And i won't sympathize

You've hurt me for the last time

Got no more tears to cry



Gave you three hearts

One boy and one girl and a

Woman who loves you

We're sittin' here falling apart

All through your ins and outs

Your fears and all your doubts

And god knows there's been doubts

But we've given you a home, and you're just

Throwing it away

All far for some girl born yesterday

And what about your children

There is nothing to explain

But still you're asking me to understand

Well i'm telling you we can't

Why should i care about your reasons

When you're walking right out of your lives

Say goodbye

To all the love and memories

One last time, one good look at all the love

That won't be in your life

Say goodbye

I hope that you'll be happy

Don't look back, 'cuz it'll be too late

I've gone with my life



Hook
