Southern Ballad

Sit down darling
Something i need to say
I know it's gonna hurt you
But we can't go on this way
I can't bear the pain i'm going through
I can't feel the tears you cry
But i swear if this means losing you
That a part of me will die

How can i tell you
What this heart of mine would say
When everything i feel for you
Has turned my head away
I never meant to hurt you
Even though i don't know why
But i swear if this means losing you
That a part of me will die


And i could not stop loving you
I couldn't do that if i tried
When i told you all you meant to me
It was true, i never lied
Lord knows you've done everything
To keep me satisfied
But i swear if this means losing you
That a part of me will die


Oh i swear if this means losing you
That a part of me will die
I swear if this means losing you
That a part of me will die
Baby i know if this means losing you
That a part of me will die, oh oh
