If I should stay
Well, I would only be in your way
And so I'll go, and yet I know
That I'll think of you each step of my way
And I will always love you
I will always love you
Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I have, and all Im taking with me
Good-bye, oh, please don't cry
Cause we both know that Im not
What you need
I will always love you
I will always love you
And I hope life, will treat you kind
And I hope that you have all
That you ever dreamed of
Oh, I do wish you joy
And I wish you happiness
But above all this
I wish you love
I love you, I will always love
I, I will always, always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/dolly_parton/i_will_always_love_you.html ]
Also... If you read the words again... Please don't cry... And she keeps saying i won't ever forget you or stop loving you... She means that... He still love her.. She is the one leaving... Because she knowns she will "only get in the way"...
You both are a little wrong... She loves him... He has moved on... She's not the right person for him(see lines10-11)she feels that... And she is wishing him that he will be happy... But that she'll never forget... (i will always love you)by the way.. Don't you love the fact that the author is the one singing it?... I love this song... It's a part of me almost... I understand... The part about it being impossible ...
I agree with the first comment from a3rdcharm2. In this case it was my ex-boyfriend who at one time suggested that i read the lyrics. I broke-up with him after finding out he was cheating on me. I hate to label it a breakup song but i guess it is just that. Like the song say's ... I will always love you!
No its more of a break up song. She is telling him that she loves him but she isnt in love with him anymore. She wants him to go on and be happy without her. She still loves him and wants the best for him but thats not with her anymore.
Well,
she loves this guy and they have been liking each other
for ages by the sound of it
and he cheats
but she wishes that they will be happy together
