I don't know how to explain, it just isn't there
I tried to love you the way you that loved me but it just isn't there
Now I'm not trying to make excuses
Its something my heart won't do
I'm just trying to break it gently to you

The time has come to face the truth as it stands
I have delayed the final decision as long as I can
Now I'm not trying to stall for time
That's something my heart wouldn't do
I'm just trying to break it gently to you

But there's no easy way to end
a love affair once it begins
there's no easy way to say good-bye
If I could wave a magic wand
and love you till the end of time
I would but I can't and the love isn't there

I tried write you a letter, but I had no words up my sleeve
Thought I might call you long distance but when the time came I couldn't leave
Now I'm not trying to make excuses
That's something my heart won't do
I'm just trying to break it gently to you

But there's no easy way to end
a love affair once it begins
no easy way to say good-bye
If I could wave a magic wand
and love you till the end of time
I would but I can't and the love isn't there

And I'm not trying to make excuses
That's something my heart won't do
I'm just trying to break it gently to you
