The Final Step

How do I tell you it's over,
while looking you in the eye?
How do I tell you it's forever,
without feeling I'm dying inside?

Even with the pain that you've caused me,
and the tears that I've cried for you
The pain that I'm feeling is very strong,
at the thought of telling you we're through.

I think back to the moments of happiness,
of laughing and being in your arms
Reminding myself I have to do this,
and can't fall again for your charms.

Trust me hon, this hurts me,
and I know it'll hurt you too
But it's over -- it has been,
I'm no longer in love with you.
