Circle Dance lyrics

I dont` know why it should be so hard
Givin` up this circle dance
Worn out steps from long ago
don`t give love a chance

It`s a bitter heirloom handed down
these twisted parts we play
I`m not her and you`re not him
It just comes out that way

Can`t go back to make things right
(though I) wish I`d understood
time has made things clearer now
We did the best we could

I`ll be home soon, that`s what you`d say
And a little kid believes
After a while I learned that love
Must be a thing that leaves

I tried so ahrd just to hold you near
Was as good as I could be
Even when I had you here
You stayed so far from me

Can`t go back to make things right
(though I) wish I`d understood
Time has made things clearer now
You did the best you could

Now that this has occurred to me
I just wanted you to know
I`ve been too faithful all my life
It`s time to let you go
