As I'm standing at the door
I don't want to let you go
But I can't hold on anymore
I just can't find the strength
To say I'm leaving you
It's over now, it's over now
And there's nothing I can do
I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break
So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye
I'm walking down this rainy street
Thinking you're awake by now
As you read my letter
And the tears fall from your eyes
Just know I tried to make it work
It just wasn't meant to be
I needed you, I needed you
But not the way you needed me
I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break
So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye
I didn't mean to hurt you
I didn't want to make you cry
It's over now, yes it's over now
I just couldn't say goodbye
I couldn't say goodbye
Couldn't stand the pain
Couldn't watch you cry
Knowing that your heart would break
So I let you sleep
Till the morning light
When you wake up and you read the note I write
Telling you that I
I couldn't say goodbye
I watch you as you're sleeping As I'm standing at the door I don't want to let you go But I can't hold on anymore I just can't find the strength To say I'm leaving you It's over now, it's over now And there's nothing I can do I couldn't say goodbye Couldn't stand the pain Couldn't watch you cry Knowing that your heart would break So I let you sleep Till the morning light When you wake up and you read the note I write Telling you that I I couldn't say goodbye I'm walking down this rainy street Thinking you're awake by now As you read my letter And the tears fall from your eyes Just know I tried to make it work It just wasn't meant to be I needed you, I needed you But not the way you needed me I couldn't say goodbye Couldn't stand the pain Couldn't watch you cry Knowing that your heart would break So I let you sleep Till the morning light When you wake up and you read the note I write Telling you that I I couldn't say goodbye I didn't mean to hurt you I didn't want to make you cry It's over now, yes it's over now I just couldn't say goodbye I couldn't say goodbye Couldn't stand the pain Couldn't watch you cry Knowing that your heart would break So I let you sleep Till the morning light When you wake up and you read the note I write Telling you that I I couldn't say goodbye Explain Request ×
