It's 3:18 in the morning
counting sheep
and I can't get you off my mind
I play an old recording
just to hear your voice say "I love you, goodbye"
and I know when I fall asleep
you'll be there in every dream and nightmare
I'm trapped inside your love
I never wanted to be free
'cause without you there's no me
but I can't do this anymore!
(chorus)
You are my everything
and it's killing me
'cause I know I've got to let you go
and it's time to say goodbye
oh, I know
I've got to let you go
let you go
and I 've tried to erase
every trace of you
is all the pictures burned?
but I still see you in everything
no matter where I go, you're there
at every turn
will I ever learn?
CHORUS
I never thought it would be this way
and I'm so afraid to lose my place inside your heart
the only place I belong
and I'm tired of feeling like a broken record
spinning on and on
it's time to take the needle off!
and I don't want to let you go
but it's better off this way
and I just hope that you know
you'll always be a part of me
no matter where I go
no matter what I do
I'll always love you
CHORUS
