Lyrics
You said 'I did try.'
When you spoke I cried.
And then I knew
My heart was through with
Ev'ry sleepless night,
The dawn brings peaceful light.
It hurts to even try
To try say 'Goodbye'.
Then I hear your voice in my heart.
Begging not to walk away.
And then tomorrow's yesterday
When I hear you say
You don't belong right here
How I dread to hear
'Goodbye' another time.
And I cry with my reply:
'No more! Not once more!
How many times will we say goodbye?
