Why Did You Say Goodbye
Why Did You Say Goodbye
I can’t believe you’re really gone
Feel like breaking down, but I gotta be strong
Cause’ the baby’s crying
And my heart’s still trying to let go
So I sing one last lullaby
I take a deep breath and look around
But everywhere I turn, Oh our memories are found
CHORUS
(And why did you have to say goodbye
You promised you’d love me all my life
You say I’m better off without you
And this is how it must be
So why do I still love a man who doesn’t love me)
It took a while to get used to
Not wearing your ring
I took down all our pictures
And I packed away all your things
Everyone said it’d be easier
You know,
Out of sight out of mind
I just wish I didn’t see your face
Every time I close my eyes
CHORUS
Just a bit more time
And the pain will start to fade
That’s what I try to tell myself
Each and every day
Every step I take without you
Gives me strength to carry on
And in no time at all
I’ll be living life’s new song
And I still don’t know why you said goodbye
Or why you couldn’t love me all my life
But your right, I’m better off without you
And this is how is must be
Now that my tears have dried
I can finally see
