I watch you as you're sleeping
|
As I'm standing at the door
|
I don't want to let you go
|
But I can't hold on anymore
|
|
I just can't find the strength
|
To say I'm leaving you
|
It's over now, it's over now
|
And there's nothing I can do
|
|
I couldn't say goodbye
|
Couldn't stand the pain
|
Couldn't watch you cry
|
Knowing that your heart would break
|
|
So I let you sleep
|
Till the morning light
|
When you wake up and you read the note I write
|
Telling you that I
|
I couldn't say goodbye
|
|
I'm walking down this rainy street
|
Thinking you're awake by now
|
As you read my letter
|
And the tears fall from your eyes
|
|
Just know I tried to make it work
|
It just wasn't meant to be
|
I needed you, I needed you
|
But not the way you needed me
|
|
I couldn't say goodbye
|
Couldn't stand the pain
|
Couldn't watch you cry
|
Knowing that your heart would break
|
|
So I let you sleep
|
Till the morning light
|
When you wake up and you read the note I write
|
Telling you that I
|
I couldn't say goodbye
|
|
I didn't mean to hurt you
|
I didn't want to make you cry
|
It's over now, yes it's over now
|
I just couldn't say goodbye
|
|
I couldn't say goodbye
|
Couldn't stand the pain
|
Couldn't watch you cry
|
Knowing that your heart would break
|
|
So I let you sleep
|
Till the morning light
|
When you wake up and you read the note I write
|
Telling you that I
|
I couldn't say goodbye
|

Couldn't Say Goodbye
