I can't win but to let you go
it's hurting me more than you'll ever know
I thought your kind of love would nurture me
but your way of life says you need to be free
There have been too many nights I've sat alone and cried
losing sleep and left unsatisfied
you never even once apologized
you're a man with too much to hide
I don't want you crawling back to me
beggars don't look pretty
I don't want to hear you say that it's all right
while your holding me like a thief in the night
you won't change and honey this I know
I can't win but to let you go
I can't win but to let you go
it's hurting me more than you'll ever know
I thought your kind of love would nurture me
but your way of life says you need to be free
I don't want you crawling back to me
beggars don't look pretty
I don't want to hear you say that it's all right
while you're holding me like a thief in the night
you won't change and honey this I know
I can't win but to let you go
no I can't win but to let you go
no I can't win but to let you go
