Lyrics

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
(Ooh, so long)
I just found out there's something wrong
(Something is wrong)
And nothin' 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
(Out the door)
You used me, you deceived me
(Ooh, what did I do?)
And you never seemed to need me
But I bet you won't forget me when I go
(Oh, no, no, no)
(Seems I've been lost in a dream)
Pretending that you care
(And now I've opened up my eyes)
And found it's all been just a great big fairytale
I've been lovin' you so long
(Ooh)
I don't think I'd even know how to forget you
(I loved so long, ooh)
Yeah, the way that things have been
I think I'm better off alone
Then to be with you
(You don't love me, it's plain to see)
There's no need to explain it anymore
I tried my best to love you, now I'm walking out the door
(Out the door, ooh)
Yeah, you used me, you deceived me
(What did I do?)
And you never seemed to need me
But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go
(Oh, no, no, no)
(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
