Didn't Want to Have to Do It

Didn't wanna have to do it

Didn't wanna have to break your heart

Didn't wanna have to do it

I kept a-hopin' from the very start

But you kept on a-tryin'

And I knew that you'd end up a-cryin'

And I knew I didn't wanna have to do it at all

Didn't wanna have to do it

Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it

Didn't wanna have to do it

I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again

Yeah, but then

No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end"

Was a time that I thought our love could fly

And never never fall

Why should I suppose we were never really meant

To be close to each other at all

No, I

Didn't wanna have to do it

Didn't wanna have to be the one to say it

Didn't wanna have to do it

I kept a-hopin' there'd be somethin' to delay it again

Yeah, but then

No, I didn't wanna have to be the one to say "The end"

No no, not the end, no no no
