[Verse 1]
Don't change your mind
I haven't got the time to sit and wonder
I'm doing fine
If you decide to leave, I won't go under

You know I've come this far without you
It won't be too hard to be alone
I've got choices all around me
So I won't be spending too much time at home

[Chorus]
Girl, I'm going to miss you
I'm going to miss you, baby
I can't forgive you
Still I'm going to miss you, baby

[Verse 2]
No, don't say a word
I already heard that you don't love me
In your state of mind
I don't need to hear your side of the story

Your friends all said we had a future
And I don't think I really want to know
My friends keep telling me to lose you
And how glad they'll be when you decide to go

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I broke my back to make you happy
Sometime, somehow, someone's got to care
If you think you're better off without me
Just remember, it's a dirty world out there

[Chorus]

[Outro]
I'm going to miss the ground you walk on
Going to miss the air you breathe
I'm just not quite happy, baby
About your crazy plans to leave
