Looking in your eyes
I see a memory
Of how it used to be
Before our world
Came tumbling down
I try
I did nothing else but try
To keep our love alive
Oh how I loved you so
And you just made me cry
Did you deceive me
Did you do me wrong boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying
Or do I leave you
Boy I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
Boy I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do

Touch this lonely heart
As I try to say to you
About the things you do
Now I'm alone
Dissatisfied
Did you deceive me
Did you do me wrong
Boy, I can't take it
Can't take it anymore
I feel so helpless
Not knowing what to do
Do I keep on crying
Or do I leave you
Boy I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
Boy I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)

Just like my friend said
You were never good for me
So just go about your way
Don't worry about me
And just forget we ever happened
The time has come
To say goodbye
Don't ask why
Just let it all go
I've made it through there's someone else

Boy I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
Boy I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
It won't be easy
'Cause breaking up is hard to do
(Oh oh oh)
(Oh oh oh, oh oh)
Boy I've been told
Leaving you is the thing to do
It would be easy
If I didn't want to start anew

Boy I've been told
Boy I've been told
Boy
Boy
Boy I've been told
