Sometimes you have no choice Sometimes you've got no voice to say Say if you will the words Say if your world is so gray We can decide this There'll be no tears No tradgedy Sure I wouldn't break and cry, if... You walk away Believe me Hey, goodbye Goodbye is forever Hey, forever Goodbye is forever And ever... Sometimes it makes no sense, This side of cruel coincidence Caught up in our own barbed wire To set us free Believe this Hey, goodbye Goodbye is forever Hey, forever Goodbye is forever And ever...
