Falling Out of Love With Me

(Dolly Parton)



The hardest thing I've ever done or that I'll ever do

Was to just walk off and leave you but I knew I had to leave you

'Cause I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me.



The worst pain that I've ever known or that I'll ever know

Was to see your love a dying and to have to watch it dying

And I couldn't stand to watch you falling out of love with me.



It's hurtin' now but still it's better I left while love was still alive

It was dying and I'd rather I didn't have to watch it die.



The deepest hurt I've ever felt or that I'll ever feel

Was to know that I was losing and I tried but I kept losing

And I couldn't stay to watch you falling out of love with me.



The loneliest I've ever been or that I'll ever be

Is now that I'm without you and I feel so lost without you

But I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me.



I'm crying now but still it's better I left while love was still alive

But it was dying and I'd rather I didn't have to watch it die...
