Southern Ballad

Sit down darling

Something I need to say

I know it's gonna hurt you

But we can't go on this way

I can't bear the pain I'm going through

I can't feel the tears you cry

But I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die

How can I tell you

What this heart of mine would say

When everything I feel for you

Has turned my head away

I never meant to hurt you

Even though I don't know why

But I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die

And I could not stop loving you

I couldn't do that if I tried

When I told you all you meant to me

It was true, I never lied

Lord knows you've done everything

To keep me satisfied

But I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die

Oh I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die

I swear if this means losing you

That a part of me will die

Baby I know if this means losing you

That a part of me will die, oh oh
