Goodbye

letting go of the person who makes you feel alive.

But it's just the way you looked tonight and the way you said hello.
It's the way you speak to my heart and its the way you seem to know.
And even though she's all you want, I guess I'll get up and go,
cause leaving you is best for me, but the tears I'll never show.

 

I can't believe I'm saying this, but it's all becoming true
I love the way you talk and I love the way you move
I know it sounds ridiculous, but I'd never lie to you
Letting you go is something I never want to do

 

But the way you speak my name- it chills me every time.
I hope you get what you want, I hope love's what you'll find.
Sometimes I want to scream and tell you about the time
that I swore I'd give up as soon as you enveloped my mind.

 

I think we both know that that's been dead and gone,
cause loving you is something that I have done all along.
I don't know if I have done something so cold and wrong,
but you're the one I've always wanted, the never-ending song.

 

So I guess this is goodbye to all the times we shared,
cause I can't go on like this when she's your only care.
It's funny how these things work out cause it never can compare
to how much I'm in love with you, but who said love was fair?
