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 chance It used to be that you and me Was all we needed 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 You're 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)
