goodbye

i'm lying in your bed
thinking of the words that we said
and it makes me wanna cry
'cause babe i've tried to find a way
to make you understand what i say
but you never know how i feel inside

and it's really plain to see
the things that mean the world to me
don't even mean a thing to you
and though babe i love you so
i sometimes feel i gotta let you go
'cause together we won't make your dreams come true

we're just too different, can't you see
with every word you're hurting me
and i cry every night
when i tell you one day this love will die
you turn to me and start to cry
but deep inside you know i'm right

darling i must go my own way
and when i look back one day
i won't regret what i left behind
you'll do much better without me
'cause that's the way it's got to be
when your dreams become reality
i'll be the last thing on your mind

a man like you is hard to find
i only hope life'll treat you kind
and there'll be someone there to ease your pain
tears are running down my face
as i feel your sweet embrace
and outside it begins to rain

i pack my bags and put on my coat
don't want to wake you up so i leave you a note
and so our story has come to an end
sorry that i'm leaving you this way
but otherwise you would have made me stay
i hope someday you'll understand

i kiss your lips and walk out the door
you're not my baby anymore
the thought of it cuts like a knife
i will get over you someday
goodbye my love i'm on my way
i'm about to start a brand-new life
