i don't know how to say...

whoa

i need you

whoa. i don't want you to stay around

while i play around

turn the lights down

and let your heart get broken

i've let you down

a thousand times

i made you cry

i took you way beyond your patience

i didn't realise

how much compromise

and sacrifice

two people have to make

somewhere down the line

i hope we find

how to make time

another chance for you and i

baby

i know how to say i love you

when i'm trying not to hurt you

bone who'll never make you cry

but i don't know how to say

it's hurting time

that's no lie

but who am i

to take away your pride?

why won't happiness

ever rest

until it sets

on your love like a sun

see that look in your eyes

and i wonder why

i must be blind

baby

i know how to say i love you

when i'm trying not to hurt you

but you deserve a better guy

one who'll never make you cry

but i don't know how to say goodbye goodbye

i say i love you

when i'm trying not to hurt you

'cause you deserve a better guy

one who'll never make you cry

but i don't know how to say goodbye

parting as friends

seems like we could be starting again

looks like we're ending our love

love

love

baby

i know how to say i love you

when i'm trying not to hurt you

you deserve a better guy

one who'll never make you cry

but i don't know how to say goodbye

goodbye

so for now i say i love you

but you deserve a better guy

one who loves you more than i

one who'll never have to say goodbye

goodbye

and i don't know what to say

looks like love has gone away

you'll be searching for

one that loves you for all time

and i never wanna make you cry

goodbye
