Lyrics How Can I Tell Him - Dionne Warwick

How can I tell him
How can I tell him I gotta be moving on?
Can't seem to say it
But how can I hide it, whatever we had is gone

He still says he needs me
And he'll never leave me, but he knows it's not the same
How can I hurt him?
But doesn't it hurt him to keep on with this game?

No use pretending, it's all over
No happy ending, it's all over
Can't go on avoiding the suffering in his eyes
Can't go on protecting him with lies
No more lies

He's holding me near him
He's planning our future, but my mind is miles away
It's wrong to deceive him
It's wrong not to leave him, gets more painful the longer I stay

I wanna stick by him
I wanna still love him, but love's not a matter of choice
How can I tell him?
I gotta tell him, but it's like I lost my voice

No use pretending, it's all over
No happy ending, it's all over
I can't go on avoiding the suffering in his eyes
Can't go on protecting him with lies
No more lies

How can I hurt him?
How can I tell him?
"You gotta be moving on"
Can't seem to say it
Whatever we had is gone
Tell me, how can I tell him?
Ooh-ooh-ooh
How can I tell him?
Can't seem to hide it

Gotta keep moving on
Gotta be moving on
Ooh, gotta keep moving on
Gotta be moving on
Moving on
Moving on

I can't hide this hurt inside
Just gotta keep on moving on
Can't keep hurting inside
Just got to keep on moving, moving, moving
Moving, moving, moving, moving
Ooh, moving on

Oh, how can I tell him?
Oh-oh, how can I tell him?
