lyrics

Hey you, I can see your face, I can see your face as I'm walking away
Hey you, I can see you're down, I can see you can tell I won't be turning around

And I'm sorry, I'm sorry

But I had to
There are things you don't know that I'm trying to get through
I need you to know it's not what I want but you'll just have to trust
That I had to

Now me I am falling apart, I am falling apart as I'm unpacking my heart
Now me I am hanging up, I am hanging up pictures to remind me I'm loved

And I'm crying, I'm crying

But I had to
There are things you don't know that I'm trying to get through
I need you to know it's not what I want but you'll just have to trust
That I had to

And I won't be the same again
I won't be the one you met, I, I
It can't be the way it was, it won't get the best of us, no, no

And I'm hurting, I'm hurting

But I had to
There are things you don't know that I'm trying to get through
I need you to know it's not what I want but you'll just have to trust
That I had to

Hey you, I can see your face
I can tell you're wishing I wasn't walking away
