Well it sure feels like Im dyin As I watch you packin up your pretty things I keep hopin that Ill wake up And find out this is all just some bad dream I wish I could talk you out of your goodbye And if I thought I stood a half a chance Id try But Ill surrender to your wish and let you go Knowin well theres nothin else that I can do I could no more hold you here With my love or with my tears Than I could try to hold down the moon And it sure feels like rejection Even though you say the problem isnt me Youre goin off in search of somethin That you think you cant find unless youre free I already dread the nights Ill spend alone And the worst of it wont hit me till youre gone But Ill surrender to your wish and let you go Knowin well theres nothin else that I can do Cause I could no more hold you here With my love or with my tears Than I could try to hold down the moon
