why can't I win

just let yourself go
in all of your glory
i'll keep you with me
in all of your beauty

if I was the one to say goodbye
i'd say it so slowly
just soft enough to make you cry
yourself to sleep
every night with out me by yourside
because you're nothing
with out me you're nothing

so i'll go on repeating you these few words
because if you want it that's how bad it hurts
to say which burns more
to stay or to walk away

because you were the one to say goodbye
you said it so slowly
just soft enough to make me cry
myself to sleep
every night with out you by my side
because i'm nothing with out you i'm nothing

and i'm searching
for the words to say to you
like i love you and i need you
yet you won't get the clue
and your green eyes
will turn these brown eyes blue
and i'm nothing
i'm nothing with out you

why can't I win
