Darlin', I was hoping that we could pretend And make believe that we could still live happily and start again Seems like you and I, we've caught up in your world of lies I kept believing you could start anew and be a friend Well, I've got something I wanted to tell you And it's the last thing I wanted to say But I think I must go there anyway Goodbye, how do you say goodbye? Do I just look you in the eye Shake your hand, wish you well After all this time I never wanted for goodbye Don't let go, I was devoted to your heart and soul
And then we took a turn And I had to learn What I tried not to know Seems like yesterday I'd give the world just to hear you say A simple whisper of a word or two Like "I love you" Breaks my heart to see it end this way Goodbye, how do you say goodbye? Do I just look you in the eye Shake your hand, wish you well After all this time I never wanted for goodbye Goodbye, can it ever be the same? Goodbye, did we lose more than we gained? There's nowhere to hide, baby, I feel it inside As my heart cries out your name Goodbye
