Atta way to go you finally broke it off Atta way to go we can't even talk or cry Or even wonder why that a way to go Didn't you believe me when I loved you I guess you thought we were playing games All this time I tried to think I've known you I guess I really only knew your name Atta way to go you finally broke it off Atta way to go we can't even talk or cry Or even wonder why that a way to go I thought you knew I lived my life just for you There was just no price to big to pay And even though I know I still live for you The feeling's that you show won't let me stay
