The Right Thing To Do

2003-04-29 - 10:30 a.m.

We were together for a long,long time
I was yours, babe, and you were mine
I'd never loved anyone more
It was like nothing I'd felt before

But I wasn't sure, I was afraid to commit
I wasn't willing to give what you wanted to get
So I decided it wasn't fair
For me to hold you with me there

So I told you we were over
And I watched your heart break
But I was sure someone would love you
And your heart would recover
And that's all it would take
For this to be the right thing to do

But still I loved you
and I still love you
And I wondered, was this the right thing to do?

And now I see you with her, happy at last
And I know that I'm just part of your past
And she loves you like I hoped that she would
And she loves you better than I could

Knowing you're together puts my worries to rest
It helps me to know that what I did was for the best
You had no trouble picking up and moving on
And I know that what we had is really gone

'Cuz I know that we are over
Oh and how my heart breaks
They tell me, "Hey, someone will love you,
And your heart will recover"
And that's all that it takes
For this to be the right thing to do

And still I love you
I'll always love you
But I know that this was the right thing to do
