i said too much went way too far
it's only now now we're apart
that i can see i was wrong
and you're where i belong
so please don't make me cry

i know you don't believe it
but i really didn't mean it
when i said goodbye
when i said goodbye

i was a fool now i'm alone
would you have stayed
stayed if you had known
that every thought is of you
hurt is all i can do
without you in my life

i know you don't believe it
but i really didn't mean it
when i said goodbye

i can't bear to watch you fly
i need you in my life
don't say goodbye let's give love another try
used to be that you and me
was all we need to know
i can't believe you're leaving
and i can't live my life alone

we've changed so much
and still love remains
let's work it out
there's no need to turn the page
your love is everything
don't let go we can win
if we would only try

i know you don't believe it
but i really didn't mean it
when i said goodbye goodbye
when i said goodbye
