Southern Ballad
Sit down darling
something i need to say
i know it's gonna hurt you
but we can't go on this way
i can't bear the pain i'm going through
i can't feel the tears you cry
but i swear if this means losing you
that a part of me will die
How can i tell you
what this heart of mine would say
when everything i feel for you
has turned my head away
i never meant to hurt you
even though i don't know why
but i swear if this means losing you
that a part of me will die

and i could not stop loving you
i couldn't do that if i tried
when i told you all you meant to me
it was true, i never lied
lord knows you've done everything
to keep me satisfied
but i swear if this means losing you
that a part of me will die

oh i swear if this means losing you
that a part of me will die
i swear if this means losing you
that a part of me will die
baby i know if this means losing you
that a part of me will die, oh oh
