I Told You Last Night

I told you last night
The words I said were cold
I told you I didn’t love you
Won’t be with you when you’re old

I won’t be there when your first is born
It won’t be mine; I know you’re torn

I won’t be there when you fall in love
It won’t be with me...this is so tough
I won’t be there when you get home
I’ll be somewhere else...hope you’re not alone

I won’t be there when you decide what to do
I won’t make your decision now it’s all up to you

I won’t be there to help you with what you need
You’ll figure it out you won’t need me
You won’t be there when I cry
Because I won’t tell you....I will just lie

You won’t be there when I need a kiss
Because I am changing from Mrs. to Miss

You won’t be there if my heart breaks again
I’ll just have to tell a friend
You won’t be there when I rise or fall
Because you can’t reach me can’t even call

Yet it breaks me...I feel relieved....let you go I can finally be me
