I'll pack up all my things and walk away,
I don't want to hear another word you have to say
I've been waiting for so long
I just found out there's something wrong
And nothing will get better if I stay

There's no need to explain anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I'm walking out the door
You used me, you deceived me,
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go

Seems I've been lost in a dream
Pretending that you care
But now I've opened up my eyes
And found it's all been just a great big fairytale

I've been loving you so long
I don't think I'd even know how to forget you
Yeah the way that things have been
I think I'm better off alone
Than to be with you
You don’t love me its plain to see

There's no need explaining anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I'm walking out the door
You used me, you deceived me,
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go

Seems I've been lost in a dream
Yeah, pretending that you care
Someday you'll open up your eyes
And realize a good man is hard to find
