He loves me, loves me, loves me, but
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but

Tell me, did you know right from the start
That we would end up right here where we are?
Oh, you're such a good boy, play the part
Showin' up with only half a heart (heart)

He says it's best for me
But I don't really remember him askin' me
He says it's best for me
But I don't really remember him askin'

He loves me, loves me, loves me, but
He says he can't
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but
He's not ready yet
Oh, I remember all your drunken half-forevers
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but

Kindly, I resign
Babe, you hold the record for goodbyes
You wanna be the good guy, dry your eyes
Frankly, darling, you don't get to cry, cry

He says it's best for me (best for me)
But I don't really remember him askin' me (askin' me)
He says it's best for me (best for me)
But I don't really remember him askin'

He loves me, loves me, loves me, but
He says he can't
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but
He's not ready yet
Oh, I remember all your drunken half-forevers
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but

He loves me, loves me, loves me, but
He says it's best for me
He loves me, loves me, loves me but
I don't remember him askin' me
He loves me, loves me, loves me, but
He says it's best for me
I still love you, love you, love you, but
