Goodbye Time
It's your life
You say you need a change
Don't all the dreams we've seen come true

Mean anything
You say it's different now
And you keep staring at the door
How can you walk away
Don't I matter anymore

If being free
Is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late
For love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time

If we had known
Our love would come to this
We could have saved our hearts
The hurt of wasted years

Well it's been fun
What else can I say
If the feeling's gone
Words won't stop you anyway

If being free
Is worth what you leave behind
And if it's too late
For love to change your mind
Then it's goodbye time
