Rather Than

When it’s over, sometimes it’s hard to walk away

But I know if I stay I’ll only hurt you

And I’d rather leave than lose your love

When it’s over, it’s so hard to part without regrets

But this is for the best

I’ll always love you

Still sometimes love’s just not enough

So for now I’ve got to go

We both know we deserve more

Don’t cry – it’s not the end

I’d much rather lose my lover than lose my friend

It’s a hard thing to know if you can trust your heart

When we should be apart – you know I’m right

It doesn’t make sense just holding on

Yeah, it’s a hard thing to say you’re too tired to try

And I wish I knew why some people change

Sometimes what’s right can feel so wrong

So for now I’ve got to go

We both know we deserve more

Don’t cry – it’s not the end

I’d much rather lose my lover than lose my friend

I need to tell you, you’ll always be my true love

But I just need too much of what you can’t give

Believe me, I wish it wasn’t so

But when I tell you I love you I mean every word

Every single word, and that won’t change

I hope with this song you’ll always know

So for now I’ve got to go

We both know we deserve more

Don’t cry – it’s not the end

I’d much rather lose my lover than lose my friend
