Lyrics
(verse)
You know I got your letter
Telling me that you can't stay
We had a chance to change things
But it didn't work out that way
I did my best to please you
Gave my all and that's a fact
I ain't trying to be no tough guy
But I ain't going out like that
(chorus)
I denied everyone to please you
Still you say that you can't stay
I gave up everything that mattered
And you still want things your way
I gave everything and everyone
Still you walked out of my life
I ain't saying that I won't cry
But I ain't gonna cry tonight
(verse 2)
It's funny how you see things
when the lights are turned back on
Suddenly I realized
I'd be better off with you gone
Did my best to please you
I did all that I could do
I ain't tryin' to be no wise guy
But my Mom didn't raise no fools
