I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me
(Chorus) You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye
And I know how hard you try
You deserve to have so much more
I can feel your heart and I sympathize
And I'll never criticize all you've ever meant to my life
I don't want to let you down
I don't want to lead you on
I don't want to hold you back
From where you might belong
You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to say but good-bye
You deserve the chance at the kind of love
I'm not sure I'm worthy of
Losing you is painful to me
(Chorus) You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore
I would rather hurt myself
Than to ever make you cry
There's nothing left to try
Though it's gonna hurt us both
There's no other way than to say good-bye

the girl maybe from a rich family and the guy is poor.
or maybe the girl has a degree in college and the guy is a college dropout.
or better yet the girl is a doctor and the guy only plays guitar for a living.
"i don't want to let you down,
i don't want to lead you on,
i don't want to hold you back from where you might belong."
means the girl has bigger dreams, and the guy thinks his stopping her from achieving it.
her parents want her to be with a man that shares the same dreams that she has.
so no matter how painful it is the guy will just let her go
even though he loves her so much...
-that's what i did.
Does it make any sense?
I'm really not sure, but I think it would be the meaning
Anyway, I really love Air Supply! Talk about REAL Air Supply! That man can almost sing ANYthing! And the music is really good. It's not hard to fall in love ith their songs. And somehow, their songs, even if I heard it for the first time, I feel like I've known it since I've known music. It's like it has always been in the back of my head. I don't know, there really is something about Air Supply that I really love! :)
they are in love .. the girl's been just perfect while he might have had not been as faithfull.. now he regrets that he betrayed her and has ultimately found himself to be the lowest of the creature and cant imagine how someone perfect as her should get stuck with this lowly creature.. so he's freeing her.. now that's love.. to let her go for her betterment..and taking the blame

"I can see the pain living in your eyes
And I know how hard you try.."
and the part
"You would never ask me why
My heart is so disguised
I just can't live a lie anymore.."
Like what kinda pain there is? It got me thinking that the guy have been having an affair and then the girl knows, that got the girl hurt, that explains "the pain living in your eyes" and then the girl try forgave him but the relationships just not the same anymore, which got us to the part "I know how hard you try"
Then, its still connect to the part "you would never ask me why" that the girl never ask the guy why hes having the affair..
But the part "my heart is so disguised" and "I just cant live a lie anymore" i just cant figure it out
