It's funny 'cause for a while I walked around with a smile But deep inside i could hear voices telling me this ain't right Don't you know it's not for you I always knew what i had to do But it's hard to get away Because i love you I just tried to stay I used to say i couldn't do it But i did it After telling everybody that i wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And i know inside i'm gonna be alright I said i couldn't do it But i did it After telling everybody that i wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says i'm gonna be alright Friends of mine say to me They say you got control over me You're not alone I played a part I saw the way you were from the start Could i expect so much from you You had a girl when i first met you Did the best that you could do Now i realize that i can't change you I used to say i couldn't do it But i did it After telling everybody that i wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And i know inside i'm gonna be alright I said i couldn't do it But i did it After telling everybody that i wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says i'm gonna be alright Said i wouldn't walk away Somedays i want to stay But leaving you is what i need to do to be okay Never thought it would be true Me livin' without you But now it's time for me to make a move I used to say i couldn't do it But i did it After telling everybody that i wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And i know inside i'm gonna be alright I said i couldn't do it But i did it After telling everybody that i wasn't with it Though it brings tears to my eyes I can feel it And that voice inside says i'm gonna be alright
