So hard to say goodbye meaning it today I've said goodbye before leaving you alone by the sea We were thrown together, a world unlike our own Believing in each other, we drifted far away By the sea, by the sea Some may say, love comes easy unlike love ours was empty Insincere and ever fading Your words and love left me lonely One-sided love is lost before it's found A chance that my love will never become, never become Someone else will love me though I may think of you It doesn't really matter 'cause all my love was lost (by the sea) In time I may forgive or tell myself a lie And leave what never was another chance to be (by the sea) By the sea, by the sea
