I Almost Couldn'T Believe It

I almost couldn't believe it 
When I heard the words you spoke 
Because I didn't want to. 
I didn't want to admit 
That you were really letting me go, 
Like a leaf on a windy day 
To travel alone 
Somewhere without you. 
I almost couldn't believe it 
When I called myself "single", 
Because after us, 
"Single" means "alone". 
Yes, I might have my friends 
And my family to back me up, 
But that's not the love I want. 
I almost couldn't believe it 
When I walked away from you 
And let the tears flow 
Down my cheeks unwillingly. 
I almost couldn't believe it 
When I heard the words you spoke 
Because I didn't want to.
