The Feeling Is Gone
M2M · Other Songs - M2M
Its not like I wanna destroy his reputation
We are still together
But we are not moving on
When we first met it was the perfect combination
Now when I look at him it fills me with frustration
What is a girl to do when she is not having fun
[CHORUS]
How can I tell him I have to try
There is no easy way of saying goodbye
How do I break it
Its just no good
My heart is telling me that I really should
I must be subtle
I must be strong
the feeling is gone
I think we're going in the opposite direction
No longer think that we are making a connection
I am so unhappy
I'd rather be alone
In the beginning it was one special occasion
Now when I talk to him his mind is on vacation
CHORUS 2X
I want it over all said and done
How can I tell him that he isn't the one
I must be subtle
I must be strong
the feeling is gone
