I am determined to get over you, no matter how long it takes
I’ll have the courage, the will to be strong, no matter how my heart breaks
I’ll let you go if it takes me all year
I’m so afraid but I will face my fear
I am so tired of crying these tears over you
I have resolved to live for myself, I’m going to set my heart free
I have the wisdom to heal my own heart, no one will love me like me
I won’t hold on, I’ll simply let go
And if I miss you I won’t let it show
And if you kiss me I will not open to you
Darlin, so long, I have loved you so much, but the time for that has gone by
I will not linger or long for the touch of your hand on mine, on mine, on mine
You say you never intended to hurt me, I believe that it’s true
I never intended to love you so much, after all we’d been thru
I never thought it would cut me so deep
I never imagined how you’d make me weep
I never intended to lose so much sleep over you
Darlin, so long, I have loved you so much, but the time for that has gone by
I will not linger or long for the touch of your hand on mine, on mine, on mine
I’m really making an effort this time, to balance my life and get you off my mind
I will fill my need
I am a woman who’s loved many times, I’m sure that I’ll love again
I have had lovers who’ve broken my heart, I still consider them friends
My faith in humanity will be renewed
As soon as I’m rid of this longing for you
I may learn slow but I won’t be a fool over you
Darlin, so long, I have loved you so much, but the time for that has gone by
I will not linger or long for the touch of your hand on mine, on mine, on mine
