(Dolly Parton) The hardest thing I've ever done or that I'll ever do Was to just walk off and leave you but I knew I had to leave you 'Cause I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me. The worst pain that I've ever known or that I'll ever know Was to see your love a dying and to have to watch it dying And I couldn't stand to watch you falling out of love with me. It's hurtin' now but still it's better I left while love was still alive It was dying and I'd rather I didn't have to watch it die. The deepest hurt I've ever felt or that I'll ever feel Was to know that I was losing and I tried but I kept losing And I couldn't stay to watch you falling out of love with me. The loneliest I've ever been or that I'll ever be Is now that I'm without you and I feel so lost without you But I couldn't stay and watch you falling out of love with me. I'm crying now but still it's better I left while love was still alive But it was dying and I'd rather I didn't have to watch it die...
