Yeah... oh, mmm
It hurts to write this, Maria
Looking at your pictures on my phone
Staring at the ceiling all alone
What we had, Maria Makembo, it was real
I can't even explain the way you made me feel
But the road we're walking is pulling us apart
And staying together is only breaking my heart, oh yeah
You were my true love, Maria
But I'm afraid we gotta let this go, yeah
It kills me to say goodbye to you, Maria
But it's the hardest truth we both gotta know
I love you, baby, oh I love you
I never wanted us to fade to black
Wishing we could find our way back
But we're fighting a battle we're destined to lose
Between staying together and what we gotta choose
You deserve the world, and I wish it was me
But some things just aren't meant to be, mmm
You were my true love, Maria
But I'm afraid we gotta let this go, yeah
It kills me to say goodbye to you, Maria
But it's the hardest truth we both gotta know
I love you, baby, oh I love you
Goodbye, Maria...
My true love, mmm
I gotta let you go.
