It's funny 'cause for a while

I walked around with a smile

But deep inside I could hear voices telling me this ain't right

Don't you know it's not for you

I always knew what I had to do

But it's hard to get away

Because I love you

I just tried to stay



I used to say I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And I know inside I'm gonna be alright

I said I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright



Friends of mine say to me

They say you got control over me

You're not alone

I played a part

I saw the way you were from the start

Could I expect so much from you

You had a girl when I first met you

Did the best that you could do

Now I realize that I can't change you



I used to say I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And I know inside I'm gonna be alright

I said I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright



Said I wouldn't walk away

Somedays I want to stay

But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay

Never thought it would be true

Me livin' without you

But now it's time for me to make a move



I used to say I couldn't do it

But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
