You Are Too Precious

It would mean only heartbreak
Should I dare to stay
For the sake of us both
I must go away

So bid me farewell
Though I know it's not easy
You are too precious
To be wasted on me

I sense your despair
I know I'm to blame
The sight of your tears
Fills me with pain

I could never remain
It's so easy to see
You are too precious
To be wasted on me

I am haunted by memories
Of a love that won't die
I should have left sooner
Before I made you cry

The sooner I go
Less heartbreak will be
You are too precious
To be wasted on me

Already I miss
The worth of your smile
If only I could
Stayed a while

For sayin' goodbye
Is pure misery
You are too precious
To be wasted on me

When you walk away
Forever we'll part
But you take away
Most of my heart

Should I cross your mind
Look back and you'll see
You are too precious
To be wasted on me
You are too precious
To be wasted on me
