I don't wanna say that I'm leavin'
I don't wanna have to give a reason
I don't wanna say - I don't wanna say goodbye...

I know you're hurtin', but I don't feel much better
I don't know if I should write this letter
It doesn't matter - it doesn't matter how I try...

I've never played the wounded soldier
I've never been the one to cry
But I have never known forgiveness
From the hands of the one who died, one who died!

Are you faithful to every promise you made?
Will you be there to carry me in my pain?

I don't wanna say I don't believe you
I'm afraid to say, that I need you
I don't wanna let ya, don't wanna let ya see me cry...
