You Gotta Go

I never know why
Why we can't see eye to eye
And like a fool I believed
We would find a way to survive
I wish we could be more than just a memory
Cuz we loved, we laughed, we cried
And there's no good in goodbye

You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go

Then you gotta go

If you must go, you ought to know
I will get along, I will live without you
And if you should leave I hope you see
I won't be around baby if you should leave
You're gonna need me

You might think that leaving is easy
I had no right to lead you on
I should have told you the moment the feeling was gone
What I'm trying to say is that I need some space
I need to be sure

No, you'll never find another love like me
All around this world
Still you tell me

You tell me you need some time
Some time to be on my own
Right now when I need you so
Don't know how long it will take
Do you expect me to wait
But baby I gotta go

Then you gotta go

You said you'll always be mine
I need to be on my own
I gotta be on my own
Not gonna beg you to stay
But you'll be back boy I know
Baby I gotta go
Then you gotta go

Then you gotta go
