Your Love for me Should End

YOUR LOVE FOR ME SHOULD END

 

MY SWEETHEART, WON’T YOU BREAK THIS HEAVY CHAIN

AND LET ME HAVE THE FREEDOM THAT I NEED

YOUR LOVE CAN OFFER ME NOTHING BUT PAIN

AFRAID I AM OF WHAT IT SOON MAY BREED

 

WE THOUGHT THERE NEVER WOULD BE GREATER LOVE

THAN THE LOVE THAT ONCE YOU AND I POSSESSED

BUT WITH A GREATER LOVE I HAVE BEEN BLESSED

BY GOD WHO MOVES OUR FEELINGS FROM ABOVE

WITH YOU I CANNOT STAY

FORGIVE ME, DEAR, I PRAY

BUT FEELINGS HAVE A WAY OF GOING ASTRAY

 

I HOPE THAT SOME DAY YOU WILL ALSO FIND

A LOVE AS GREAT AS THIS ONE IN MY HEART

FOR THEN I WILL BE SURE THAT YOU WON’T MIND

RELEASING ME AND LETTING ME DEPART

 

POSSESSIVE OF MY LOVE YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN

YOU DROVE MY LOVE FOR YOU OUT OF MY HEART

MORE JEALOUS A GIRL I HAVE NEVER SEEN

NO MORE A LIFE WITH YOU I WANT TO START

YOUR LOVE FOR ME SHOULD END

OUR HEARTS WILL NEVER BLEND

‘CAUSE I CAN’T BE TO YOU BUT A GOOD FRIEND
