Words and Music by Dolly Parton
Hardest thing Ive ever done, or that Ill ever do
Was to just walk off and leave you, but I knew I had to leave you
Cause I couldnt stay and watch you falling out of love with me
The worst pain Ive ever known, or that Ill ever know
Was to see your love a dying, and I have to watch it dying
And I couldnt stand to watch you falling out of love with me
Its hurting now but still its better, I left while love was still alive
It was dying and Id rather, I didnt have to watch it die
The deepest hurt Ive ever felt, or that Ill ever feel
Was to know that I was losing, and I tried but I keep losing
And I couldnt stay and watch you falling out of love with me
The loneliest Ive ever been, or that Ill ever be
Is now that Im without you, and I feel so lost without you
But I couldnt stay and watch you falling out of love with me
Its hurting now but still its better, I left while love was still alive
It was dying and Id rather, I didnt have to watch it die
It was dying and Id rather, I didnt have to watch it die
