As we passed in the hall She said we need to talk I can't go on like this another day I froze in my tracks And a chill ran up my back 'Cause I knew what she was gonna say She said there's someone else And I've kept it to myself But I can't keep these feelings locked inside I need to tell you this It's one of your old friends One you haven't talked to in a while She said I'm leaving And there's nothing you can do I said I had a feeling you found somebody new And I'll bet I can guess his name But it's so hard to believe 'Cause she said you're not even close It's someone you don't know I'm leaving you for me I just stood there at a loss for words Tryin' to catch my breath 'Cause I knew that it was over when She said I'm leaving And there's nothing you can do I said I had a feeling that you found somebody new And I'll bet I can guess his name But it's so hard to believe Oh she said you're not even close It's someone you don't know I'm leaving you for me She said you're not even close It's someone you don't know I'm leaving you for me
