Don't feel like I know you
And that’s strange
Right before my eyes
I watched you change
Once upon a time
I really felt you were mine
But lately I'm thinking
Our love's on the borderline
I tell myself that things will be okay
But loving you gets harder every day
I don’t like imagining, letting me without you
My baby, don't let 'em make what myself
Would never have chose (oh yeah)

So, I gotta let you go
I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me
But leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
So, I gotta let you go
I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me
But leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
And I'm happily unhappy
Unhappily in love

When the trust of love starts to disappear
I settle in there’s nothing left at all to feel
I try to be strong now
I don’t want to hold on
To your love when I know it only keeps bringing me down
Now I'm waiting the calm before the storm
Believe me when I say I’m not trying to break your heart, no
Cause we're nearing when tears sleep
Cause my love is sincere
Driving me crazy
Driving me crazy baby
Can't be without you no more

So, I gotta let you go
I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me
But leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I’m still in love
So, I gotta let you go
I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me
But leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
And I'm happily unhappy
Unhappily in love

Woah-ooh yeah yeah
Yeah, loving away keeps killing me

Oh, where did we go wrong
I'm tired of singing sad love songs
I tried so hard to be
To be the girl you want
And I've been hurting so long
The love we had is gone
I think it's time we move on
But I gotta be strong

So, I gotta let you go
I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me
But leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
So, I gotta let you go
I don't wanna cry no more
Because loving you is killing me
But leaving you would hurt me more
I guess I'm still in love
And I'm happily unhappy
Unhappily in love

Oh baby
Yeah yeah yeah, dogging me friend
Unhappy in love
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
