Lyrics

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SAID GOOD-BYE

(Dale Allen/Bill Flowerree)


I'm sorry you're not happy with the new life that you tried
But don't forget that when you left you took away my pride
Now you say you're lonely, you sit up nights and cry
I'm sorry, but you're the one who said good-by


It's not that complicated, it's pretty black & white
Getting over you's the hardest thing that I've survived
Now you think that you can waltz right back into my life
I'm sorry, but you're the one who said good-bye


You say you learned from your mistake
It's too bad you're too late
I've found somebody new to dry my eyes
My life's on track, don't want you back and if that makes you cry
I'm sorry, but you're the one who said good-bye


So you learned from your mistake
It's too bad you're too late
I've found somebody new to dry my eyes
Excuse me if I choose to love the one who treats me right
I'm sorry, but you're the one who said good-bye

I'm sorry, but you're the one who said good-bye
