Wish time was standing still tonight
Wish I was standing by your side all of time
Not for the last time

This can't be goodbye
How could I ever find
The strength to let go, to be without you
This can't be goodbye

Don't wanna carry this inside
Don't wanna to carry on despite how I've tried
To take this in my stride
No I don't think I'll be alright
No it's not something I can hide
And I won't try, I don't see why

This can't be goodbye
How could I ever find
The strength to let go, to be without you
This can't be goodbye

I can't say goodbye
Somehow I cannot find
The strength to let go, to be without you
This can't be goodbye

Why won't this agony subside
Can't fill this emptiness inside
Oh I'm so empty inside
No I can't ever make this right
No it's not something I can fight
I know I've tried

Come take this pain away
Come take this pain away
Come take this pain, take it away

(Please don't cry)
Come take this pain away
(It's time to say goodbye)
Come make it go away
(Baby please don't cry)
Come take this pain away
(It's time to say goodbye)

This can't be goodbye
(It's time to say goodbye)
How could I ever find
(Baby please don't cry)
The strength to let go, to be without you
(It's time to say goodbye)
This can't be goodbye
