how do i tell her that i'm gonna wait?
when i know that she'll be begging me to stay.
and how do i tell her, that the time has come to part?
when she's, she's gonna take it so hard.
i don't wanna break her heart,
i don't wanna see her cry!
cause i promised her forever,
that i'll be by her side.

so, how do i tell her, tell her goodbye?
oh yeah!

how do i tell her that my path is gonna change,
when i know that her heart won't be able to stand the pain?
and how do i tell her that i'm moving on with my life,
when she's just gonna break down and die?
oh, i don't wanna break her heart, no!
i don't wanna break her heart,
i don't wanna see her cry!
when i promised a girl forever i'll be by her side?

so, how do i tell her, tell her goodbye?
oh yeah!

listen!
she's been forever faithful, hones and true,
yes she was!
my god, this is gonna be the worst thing that i ever had to do!
how, how, how, how, how?
how do i tell her, oh, that the time has come to part,
when i know she's gonna take it so very bad?
yes she is!
i don't wanna break her heart,
i don't wanna see her cry!
when i promised her forever,
that i'll be by her side.
