I didn't fail I gave a tryin' tryin' to hold you to me I let you go we'll say goodbye but don't leave the leaving up to me Our great love we had is over all we cherished is gone Nothing ever last forever it's time for moving along But I can't go my feet won't take me I can't go so please don't make me Be the one to make the move to be free One goodbye deserves another so now goodbye it would be We'd let go of one another but don't leave the leaving up to me ( guitar ) Why do I hate so much to lose you why this hurting inside Is it you I'm holding onto or is it only my pride So don't wait around the doubts unfold you I make me a chain of tears and hold you Don't wait around for you may never be free One goodbye deserves another so now goodbye it will be We'd let go of one another but don't leave the leaving up to me Don't leave the leaving up to me don't leave the leaving up to me
