VERSE 1:

You entered my life like a bad surprise,
a twisted gift of fate,
an answer to prayer when I'd given up hope.
It's too late,
too late.


CHORUS 1:

Well, I don't know if you're right for me.
All I know is what it's like for me.
I know that I could like you,
but I don't know what's in store,
and I don't want to hurt you anymore.


VERSE 2:

I tried to fit you into my scheme;
I wanted us to be a truth.
But I know the destination ahead—
It's not with you,
not with you.


CHORUS 2:

And I don't know if you're right for me.
All I know is what I'd like it to be.
You know I hate to lose you.
This is pain I can't ignore,
but I don't want to hurt you anymore.


BRIDGE:

Why'd you have to come when my yearning was over?
Why'd you have to come when I'd made up my mind?
Why'd you have to come when my searching was over?
Why'd you have to come when I'm out of time?


CHORUS 3:

Well, I don't know you're not right for me.
All I know is what I'd like to see.
You know I hate to leave you,
but I'm walking out the door,
'cause I don't want to hurt you anymore.
