(Jim Rushing/Marshall Chapman)

I never tried to change you
But the hurt is changing me
I only wanna be myself
And you won't let that be
I can't play an actor's role
'Cause I can't live a lie
Life's too short and night's too long
To let them pass us by

So I'll be closing the door in the morning
And I won't wake you when I rise
'Cause there's nothing to say before going
You think that I said it all
So I think I'll say goodbye

Believin' came so easy when our love was flowin' free
But there's a wall of darkness where sunshine used to be
One more wrong tomorrow
Is one more wasted day
And holdin' on to love that's gone
We'll never find our way

So I'll be closing the door in the morning
And I won't wake you when I rise
'Cause there's nothing to say before going
You think that I said it all
