Lyrics

My heart starts breaking when I think of making up plans to let you go I keep thinking maybe tomorrow I'm gonna let you know But when I think about leaving, I think about losing The only love I ever knew Every time I think of you my heart starts aching, my hands keep shaking And you know, you know, you know It would take a strong, strong man To ever let you go (to ever let you go) To ever let you go My heart's been hurting when I see you flirting every night out on the floor I keep thinking maybe tomorrow You'll grow to love me more But whenever we're together, I could leave you never Even though you treat me cruel Every time I look at you my heart starts aching, my hands keep shaking And you know, you know, you know It would take a strong, strong man To ever let you go (to ever let you go) To ever let you go I tried to resist you When you're gone all I ever do is miss you Anyone in love would know Anyone with half a heart could never let you go But when I think about leaving, I think about losing The only girl I ever loved Can't you tell me why do you hurt me? I guess some people never see, especially, a fool like me My heart starts aching, my hands keep shaking And you know, you know, you know It would take a strong, strong man To ever let you go To ever let you go (To ever let you go) I'll never let you go (to ever let you go) (To ever let you go) (To ever let you go) (To ever let you go) (To ever let you go)
