I'll pack up all my things and walk away, I don't want to hear another word you have to say I've been waiting for so long, And just found out there's something wrong Nothing will get better if I stay There's no need to explain anymore I tried my best to love you, Now I'm walkin' out the door (Walkin' out the door) You used me, you deceived me, And you never seem to need me But I bet, you won't forget me when I go Oh no, no, no Seems I've been lost in a dream Pretending that you care But now I've opened up my eyes And found it's all been just a great big fairytale I've been lovin' you so long Don't think I even know how to forget you But now the way that things have been I think I'm better off alone than to be with you You don't love me it's plain to see There's no need to explain anymore I tried my best to love you, Now I'm walkin' out the door (Walkin' out the door) Ahh, you used me, you deceived me, And you never seem to need me But I'll bet you won't forget me when I go Oh no, no, no Seems I've been lost in a dream Pretending you were mine Someday you'll open up your eyes And realize that a good woman's hard to find Yes I've been lost in a dream Pretending that you care But now I've opened up my eyes And found it's all been just a great big fairytale
