[Verse 1]
Wish I could be the one, the one who could give you love
The kind of love you really need
Wish I could say to you that I'll always stay with you
But baby, that's not me
You need someone willing to give their heart and soul to you
Promise you forever, baby, that's something I can't do

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie

[Chorus]
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye

[Verse 2]
I hope someday you can find someway to understand
I'm only doing this for you
I don't really want to go but deep in my heart I know
This is the kindest thing to do
You'll find someone who'll be the one that I could never be
Who'll give you something better than the love you'll find with me

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I could say that I'll be all you need
But that would be a lie

[Chorus]
I know I'd only hurt you
I know I'd only make you cry
I'm not the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye

[Verse 3]
Leaving someone when you love someone
Is the hardest thing to do
When you love someone as much as I love you
Oh, I don't wanna leave you
Baby, it tears me up inside
But I'll never be the one you're needing
I love you, goodbye

[Outro]
Baby, it's never gonna work out
I love you, goodbye
