[F#] I didn't want to have [G#] to do it, [F#] didn't want to [G#] have to [Fm] break your [F#] heart, didn't want [G#] to
have to do it.
[F#] I [Fm] kept hoping from the very start that you kept on trying
[A#] and I knew that you'd end up
[D#m] crying and I [A#m] knew I didn't want to [G#] have to do it [F#] at
[Fm] all.
[F#] Didn't want to [G#] have to do it,
[F#] didn't [Fm] want to have to be the one to say it, [F#] didn't [G#] want
to have to do it.
[F#] I [Fm] kept hoping it'd be something to delay it again, yeah [A#] but [Fm] then, no [F#] I didn't want to
have to be [G#] the one to [F#] say it.
[Fm] It [G#]
was the time [F#] that I thought our love could fly
[G#] and never, never
[F#] fall.
[G#] Why should I [F#] suppose we were never really meant [G#] to be close to each other [Fm] at all?
[F#] No I didn't want [Fm] to have to do it,
[F#] didn't want [G#] to have to be the one to say it, [F#] didn't
want [Fm] to have to do it.

[Fm] I kept hoping it'd be something to delay it again, yeah [A#] but then, [Fm]
[F#] no I didn't want to
have to be [G#] the [C] one to [F#] say it.
[G#] No, no, not [F#] the [Fm] end, no, no, [F#] no.
