How do I break it to my heart lyrics

There's your picture by the bed

I'm gonna leave it where it is

'Cause if I tear it out tonight

My heart would know

But something ain't right

Between me and you

I'm gonna lie here in the dark

And pretend you're in my arms

And if I can't keep on crying out your name

My heart would think you're here beside me

And things are still the same

My mind knows it's over

But how do I break it to my heart

If I let it down easy

It'd still be torn apart

And if I tell it the truth

Then the pain is gonna start

My mind knows it's over

But how do I break it to my heart

When I saw him by your side

I guess it opened up my eyes

And my ears can finally hear your soft goodbye

But my heart still says I'm loving you tonight

And for the rest of its life...
