I was so high, I did not recognize The fire burning in her eyes The chaos that controlled my mind Whispered goodbye as she got on a plane Never to return again But always in my heart This love has taken its toll on me She said goodbye too many times before And her heart is breaking in front of me I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore, woah, woah, woah I tried my best to feed her appetite Keep her coming every night So hard to keep her satisfied Oh, kept playing love like it was just a game Pretending to feel the same Then turn around and leave again But, oh, this love has taken its toll on me She said goodbye too many times before And her heart is breaking in front of me I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore woah, woah, woah I'll fix these broken things Repair your broken wings And make sure everything is alright My pressure on your hips Sinking my fingertips Into every inch of you 'Cause I know that's what you want me to do This love has taken its toll on me She said goodbye too many times before Her heart is breaking in front of me I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore This love has taken its toll on me She said goodbye too many times before My heart is breaking in front of me She said goodbye too many times before This love has taken its toll on me She said goodbye too many times before Her heart is breaking in front of me I have no choice 'cause I won't say goodbye anymore
