Lyrics
First Verse:
Well I guess it's really over this time.
There ain't nothin' left between you and I.
We've cried all the tears that we're gonna cry.
There ain't nothin' left that we haven't tried.
So I guess it's time to say goodbye.
Leave it all behind, get on with our lives.
But there's one thing I don't know how to face.
I just can't find the right words to say.
Chorus:
What do I say to my little girl upstairs with her heart broken,
And her eyes filled up with tears?
And how do I answer when she says Daddy please don't go,
It won't be the same without you here.
Second Verse:
Yeah, I know we can't stay together just for the kids.
Yeah, I realize this ain't no way to live,
But how can I convince her that her Daddy's love will never die,
When she sees what's happened to you and I?
Chorus (repeat twice)
It won't be the same without you here.
