You begged me to stop my fussin'
   There's something that needs discussin'
   You've been keeping inside you
   And it's high time I know
  
   There's no way to break it gently
   When you told me forever
   It doesn't mean it wasn't true at the time
   But it's time for you to go
  
   Am I readin' you right?
   Did you just turn out the light at the end
   of our ten year Tunnel of Love?
   Yeah, I know it's your hour of need-
   But what about me?
  
   I won't be the cage that holds you
   I won't be the one who told you
   that you're making a mistake?
   No Baby? I've never been that kind
  
   And if you're sayin' that I've confined you
   By all means go but let me remind you
   You can't change your world as easy
   as changin' your mind.
  
   What more do I have to give?
   Guess I'll just have to live with the thought
   My tears'll be setting you free
   And I hope you find all you seek-
   But what about me?
  
   What do you want me to say?
   Girl, you're walking away with
   The only dream I ever believed.
   You'll be livin' through leavin' us be
   But what about me?
  
   Well I know love don't come guaranteed-
   But what about me?
