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
CHORUS:
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
CHORUS
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
