Lyrics

My heart starts breaking
When I think of making
A plan to let you go
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
I’m gonna let you know
But when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only love I ever knew
Every time I think of you

My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know

It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go

My heart’s been hurting
When I see you flirting
Every night out on the floor
I keep thinking maybe tomorrow
You’ll grow to love me more
But whenever we’re together
I could leave you never
Even though you treat me cruel
Every time I look at you

My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know

It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
To ever let you go

I tried to resist you
When you’re gone, all I ever do is miss you
Anyone in love would know
Anyone with half a heart
Could never let you go

Instrumental

But when I think about leaving
I think about losing
The only girl I ever loved
Can’t you tell me why do you hurt me
I guess some people never see
Especially a fool like me

(My heart starts aching
My hands keep shaking
And you know, you know, you know)

It would take a strong, strong man
To ever let you go (to ever let you go)
I’ll never let you go
