It's funny 'cause for a while
I walked around with a smile
But deep inside I could hear voices telling me this ain't right

Don't you know it's not for you
I always knew what I had to do
But it's hard to get away

Because I love you
I just tried to stay


I used to say I couldn't do it
But I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes
I can feel it
And I know inside I'm gonna be alright

I said I couldn't do it
But I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it

Though it brings tears to my eyes
I can feel it
And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright


Friends of mine say to me
They say you got control over me

You're not alone
I played a part
I saw the way you were from the start

Could I expect so much from you
You had a girl when I first met you
Did the best that you could do

Now I realize that I can't change you

I used to say I couldn't do it

But I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it
And I know inside I'm gonna be alright
I said I couldn't do it

But I did it
After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes

I can feel it
And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright


Said I wouldn't walk away
Somedays I want to stay
But leaving you is what I need to do to be okay

Never thought it would be true
Me livin' without you
But now it's time for me to make a move


I used to say I couldn't do it
But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes
I can feel it

And I know inside I'm gonna be alright
I said I couldn't do it
But I did it

After telling everybody that I wasn't with it
Though it brings tears to my eyes
I can feel it

And that voice inside says I'm gonna be alright
