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
