Oh before we got too high above the ground Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down Oh well, the longer that we hung I knew would only serve to dig us deeper down The best that I could do was leave you down and out Though all I ever wanted was to do right by you Well I couldn't prove it standing there beside you The easy way out would have been to stick around Oh before we got too high above the ground Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down Though I know that there's a heart of gold you hold inside I've seen it glow so many times The thought of leaving you is leaving me broken down Though all I ever wanted was to do right by you Well I couldn't prove standing there beside you The easy way out would have been to stick around Still I wish there was some kind of switch that I could turn on When a love don't stay strong, to keep the everything from going wrong All my life, seems every time, there was more love in letting go Than I could ever give in holding on Oh before we got too high above the ground Suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down And I believe, I believe, I believe In another time around But suddenly I knew the best that I could do was let you down
