Lyrics

VERSE
I don’t want to hear the words that all those teardrops say
Words that I’ve seen comin’ that you tried so hard to delay
’Cause you know I’m gonna fall apart when I hear the truth
If the truth is, you’re goin’ away

PRE-CHORUS
(Now) (So) girl, there’s just no way in hell…

CHORUS
(To) (I can’t) keep my heart from breakin’
Or these reachin’ hands from shakin’
Or these beggin’ eyes from takin’
One last look as you leave
’Cause I don’t want to believe you’re gone
No way in hell

VERSE
I just can’t help believin’ we could make a brand-new start
And I just can’t help the hurtin’ that’s hap’nin’ in my heart
And I just can’t bear to think what life may hold for me
Goodbye would tear me apart

Repeat PRE-CHORUS/Repeat CHORUS (except last two lines)/BRIDGE
Time won’t help to mend this broken heart
If you’re movin’ on while I’m standin’ still

Repeat CHORUS (except next-to-last line)
