Even If It Breaks My Heart

(album: Real As I Wanna Be - 1998)

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, we were in a cafe
You ordered what you usually do
I looked in your eyes you looked down in that moment
What you couldn't say, baby I already knew

It's either you or me and I don't wanna be
The one who makes believe for too long

I don't wanna be the one this time
I don't wanna watch us fall apart
Gonna have to leave it all behind
Even if it breaks my heart

No, I don't wanna watch us fade
But how can we remain the way we are
Guess I'll have to turn and walk away
Even if it breaks my heart

I gave all I had, everything I had needed you to give it back
Tell me was that too much to ask
Felt it on your lips, empty kisses, have a story all their own
How I wish it wasn't so

True love often dies and someone always tries
To keep it alive for too long

I don't wanna be the one this time
I don't wanna watch us fall apart
Gonna have to leave it all behind
Even if it breaks my heart

No, I don't wanna watch us fade
But how can we remain the way we are
Guess I'll have to turn and walk away
Even if it breaks my heart

Lord, knows I've tried so hard standing in front of you
Knowing that this is goodbye

I don't wanna be the one this time
I don't wanna watch us fall apart
Gonna have to leave it all behind
Even if it breaks my heart

I don't wanna let you go
How can we remain the way we are
Guess I'll have to turn and walk away
Even if it breaks my heart

I don't wanna be the one this time
I don't wanna watch us fall apart
Gonna have to leave it all behind
Even if it breaks my heart

No, I don't wanna watch us fade
But how can we remain the way we are
Guess I'll have to turn and walk away
Even if it breaks my heart

Even if it breaks my heart, oh no
Even if it breaks my heart
I gotta walk away
Yeah, yeah it's gonna break my heart
