If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go
But I know
I'll think of you each step of the way
And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you

Bittersweet memories
That's all I am taking with me
Goodbye
Please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you need
And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you

And I will always love you
Oh, will always love you
I will always love you
