i spent many hours thinking before i said it
and i know i did the right thing
i knew you would not understand
but i was willing to take that chance

don't say you'll be waiting for me
that would drive me out of my mind
someday we may finish this story
and you won't feel left behind

don't be so angry 'cause this wasn't easy
don't tell me you love me, no, not as i'm leaving
don't make me feel guilty 'cause i can't help feeling
so sorry but somehow i've got to get my feet on the ground

sometimes you come back into my mind
all those memories i thought i had left behind
of your soft body pressed up against mine
so eager to show me a good time

don't say you'll be waiting for me
that would drive me out of my mind
someday we may finish this story
and you won't feel left behind, but

don't be so angry 'cause this wasn't easy
don't tell me you love me, no, not as i'm leaving
don't make me feel guilty 'cause i can't help feeling
so sorry but somehow i've got to get my feet on the ground

i can't be held responsible that you loved me
