I look up into your eyes
as i try hard not to cry
you look at me in such a loving way
and quietly whisper its gonna be OK
you wipe away a single tear
and for a moment i know no fear
you hold me in your tight embrace
all our memories start to race
i lay my head on your shoulder
as my tears begin falling harder
this by far is the hardest thing to do
having to say goodbye to you
i lift my head and give you half a smile
its only goodbye for a little while
you slightly loosen your grip
and gently kiss me on my lips
you pull me close to you
just like you used to do
i hold you tighter then ever before
only missing it more and more
i don't want this moment to end
i don't want to see you drive around that bend
we both know that this is wrong
but I'm gonna try my best to stay strong
reluctantly i pull away
as you look at me and say
bye baby i love you
i wipe a tear and say i love you too
promise me you'll always love me
you say i promise in my heart you will always be
i smile at you and say
i promise ill always love you in my heart forever you will stay
you smile and say OK then turn to walk away
i grab your arm and i drop to one knee as i say
baby we both love each other right
you nod at me and i say then this is the night
what ifs once took over your mind
and now there taking over mine
but I'm gonna try in a different way
to get them to go away
my future is only with you
and i hope yours involves me too
i know were having to say goodbye
but why continue on with this lie
we said we will love each other for ever
so can we try to get through this together
that would be our finale test
and I'm sure our outcome would be the best
if it doesn't work out this way
then ill give it up and go away
stand up and be the man i know you can be
let it be us instead of just you and me
id much rather say goodbye
knowing that your all mine
then have to say goodbye
knowing that i now have to live a lie
id like to tell you my feelings but i don't even know where to start
so instead i place your hand upon my heart
i look up at you and say can you feel it beat
you smile and nod and your smile makes me go weak
i know Ive said it already but it only beats for you
without you i wouldn't know what to do
with a shaking hand i pick up something sharp
and i put a small cut in my arm
as it starts to bleed i look at you and say
its time to wash the pain away
the blood on my arm shall be our pain
then as if on Que it begins to rain
i look down as the rain washes it away
my blood our pain everything bad that got in our way
i look up and deep into your eyes
and say I'm tired of all the lies
you said its hard to let me go
that you didn't want to and i should know
you cant stand the thought of my being held by someone else
well i don't want to be held by anyone else
all i want in my life is you
and there's nothing else id rather do
then hold you tight
through the long cold lonely night
so once again I'm gonna try and make this right
and I'm gonna try and do it tonight
as the rain drops slide slowly down your face
the thoughts in my head start to race
i hold out my hand for you to take
knowing if you don't reach for it my heart will break
i take a deep breath and my heart begins to race
i cant tell whats gonna happen cause there's no expression on your face
if you take my hand then your saying we can try again
if you don't then your saying we have reached the end
i hold my hand out closer to you
a few seconds go by and i have no idea what your gonna do
the seconds turn to minutes and i start to get worried
but i know this is something that cant be hurried
so i keep up my hopes
praying my heart wont get broke
you look away and my heart just drops
i stand up and say I'm just gonna stop
i knew it was true but facing i didn't want to do
now i have too cause i really have lost you
at least i know that i have tried
my sad tears haven't yet dried
there's nothing left for me to do
so I'm just gonna say goodbye to you
goodbye my baby i love you
you say goodbye and i love you too
you turn around and walk away
there so many things i want to say
i watch you get in the car to leave
and i whisper i love you i hope you believe
i watch you drive off down the highway
slowly you start to fade away
i hit my knees as i start to cry
then i begin to scream why
i just watched my life drive away
why couldn't something go my way
now shes gone and i may never get her back
how the hell am i supposed to act
you let her leave now you need to let her know
that I'm not ready to let her go
how can y'all say
every things gonna be OK
she just looked me in the eyes
and said her last goodbye
ill just pray every day and night
that she'll soon see whats right
ill sit here and wait for you
goodbye till then when i know what else to do
