The Least That You Can Do

If it's really over and there's nothing I can say

I'll do my best to hide the pain and turn and walk away

But do me one last favor and pretend you're hurting too

After all we've been through it's the least that you can do

I don't know any reason we should let the whole town know

Which one of us came up with this plan for letting go

Try to leave me just a little pride to get me through

After all I gave you it's the least that you can do

When you run into our old friends

Could you ask them how I've been

And maybe even muster up a teardrop now and then

And if they ask you how you're doing

What's it really gonna hurt

To tell a little lie and do your best to look your worst

Keep my old love letters in the closet down the hall

And leave at least one picture of me somewhere on the wall

Could you do your best impression of a sentimental fool

After all it seems like it's the least that you can do

I know it won't be long till someone else is loving you

And waking up in your arms just the way I used to

Promise me at least one time you'll call him by my name

When I'm with somebody new I'll try to do the same

If someone ever asks you why we went our seperate ways

We were just too much in love might be the thing to say

Or maybe you could tell them I was just too good for you

After all I gave you it's the least that you can do

If the shoe were on the other foot I'd do the same for you

After all we've been through it's the least that you can do
