(D) The hardest thing I've ever done
or (G) that I'll ever (D) do
Was to just walk off and leave you
but I (G) knew I had to leave (D)you
'Cause I (G) couldn?t stay and (D) watch you
Falling (A) out of love with (D) me
The worst pain I've ever known
or that I'll ever know
Was to see your love dyin'
and I had to watch it dyin'
And I couldn't stand to watch you
Falling out of love with me
It's (G) hurtin' (A) now but (D) still it's better
I (G) left while (A) love was (D) still alive
It (G) was (A) dying and (D) I'd rather
I (G) didn't (A) have to watch it (D) die
The deepest hurt I've ever felt
or that I'll ever feel
Was to know that I was losin'
but I tried and I kept losin'
And I couldn't stay and watch you
Falling out of love with me
The loneliest I've ever been
or that I'll ever be
Is now that I'm without you
and I feel so lost without you
But I couldn't stay and watch you
Falling out of love with me
Chorus
It was dying and I'd rather
I didn't have to watch it die
