Take away the hurt that I feel inside Take away the pain that always comes When one has a wounded pride Take away the tears from me And the misery for they do get the best of me Take away everything, you've already got the rest of me Take away the memories of the hours we did Take away the promises You're not doing me like good people ever do Take away this hopeless desire That's making me just a shell of a man Help me to forget that I'm so low I'm doing the best I can Sometimes we laugh together, sometimes we cry And sure we had our quarrels, but they always did subside But this time it's different darling, you've found someone new And what can I do about what I've always done And that's to depend on you Take away the heartaches, take away the tears Take away the dreams that I had all my life with you Through all the coming years, take away the misery And the loneliness for they do get the best of me Take away everything, you've already got the rest of me
