He gives her attention, he's constantly, carefully planting the seeds The only thing missing, is really the only thing she needs And he can't give that to her and she can't find it with him So she'll have to find her way out of love she's not really in Chorus: She can live with what goes with leaving She knows it's the only way Though it k**s her to give up believin' She can't live with herself if she stays She could settle for what she'd be feeling If she gave in and worked this one out She doesn't want the kind of love she can live with She wants the kind of love she can't live without She looks in the mirror and sees all the sadness in her eyes It's never been clearer what he's asking her to sacrifice But she can't be his forever, she can't even be his for now She'll have to be kind to them both and let go of him somehow Repeat chorus And hardest part is she loves him But she doesn't want the kind of love she can live with She wants the kind of love she can't live without
