Lyrics

Written by: albert hammond, dianne warren

If you wanna leave
I won't beg you to stay
And if you gotta go, darlin'
Maybe, it's better that way

I'm gonna be strong, gonna be fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
Just walk out that door and see if I care
Go on and go now

But don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

I won't miss your arms around me
Holding me tight, so tight, real tight
And if you ever think about me
Just know that I'll be all right

I'm gonna be strong, gonna do fine
Don't worry about this heart of mine
I know I'll survive and I'll make it thru
And I'll even learn to live without you

But don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know

I wish I could cry out loud
That I love you baby
I wish I could say to you
Don't go, don't go, don't go

But don't turn around
'Cause you're gonna see my heart breaking
Don't turn around
I don't want you seeing me cry
Just walk away
It's tearing me apart that you're leaving
I'm letting you go
But I won't let you know
