Lyrics

You said 'I did try.'
When you spoke I cried.
And then I knew
My heart was through with

Every 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?'
