Well I woke up in the morning, cleared the cobwebs from my head
And I looked up to see, that she was packed up to leave
And had a suitcase right by the bed
When I found her by the doorway, she was trying not to cry
She had a look on her face, I just couldn't place
But her eyes seemed to whisper goodbye

So I said, hold on, wait a minute
Won't you tell me just what I did wrong
Come on baby, don't you leave me
You know I can't go on if you're gone
Cause I can't take all the heartache, and I can't take all the pain
Don't you break me down in pieces, cause I would never be the same
Said I'm sorry for the hard times, that I know I put you through
Can't you see that I'll be in pieces without you

And she gave no explanation, never told me what was wrong
When I begged her to stay, she just turned away
And I knew she was already gone
The she went back to the bedroom
And grabbed that suitcase by the bed
And when she stopped at the door, to look back once more
She said something I'll never forget

She said sorry if I hurt you
I never wanted to end things this way
So I said baby, please believe me
We can work it all out if you stay
Cause I can't take all the heartache, and I can't take all the pain
Don't you break me down in pieces, cause I would never be the same
Said I'm sorry for the hard times, that I know I put you through
Can't you see that I'll be in pieces without you
Can't you see that I'll be in pieces without you
