i love you, goodbye

wish i could be the one

the one who could give you love

the kind of love you really need

wish i could say to you

that i'll always stay with you

but

baby

that's not me

you need someone willing to give their heart and soul to you

promise you forever

baby

that's something i can't do

oh

i could say that i'll be all you need

but that would be a lie

i know i'd only hurt you

i know i'd only make you cry

i'm not the one you're needing

i love you

goodbye

i hope someday you can

find some way to understand

i'm only doing this for you

i don't really wanna go

but deep in my heart i know

this is the kindest thing to do

you'll find someone who'll be the one that i could never be

who'll give you something better than the love you'll find with me

oh

i could say that i'll be all you need

but that would be a crime

i know i'd only hurt you

i know i'd only make you cry

i'm not the one you're needing

i love you

goodbye

leaving someone when you love someone

is the hardest thing to do

when you love someone as much as i love you

oh

i don't wanna leave you

baby

it tears me up inside

but i'll never be the one you're needing

i love you

goodbye

baby

it's never gonna work out

i love you

goodbye
