Lyrics
A picture in my mind is all I'll have to show
Been warring with my heart, too selfish to let you go
If you would only speak to tell me it's ok
Maybe it would help me turn and walk away
CHORUS
You don't know this is goodbye
And I wish you'd break down and cry
Just a little more time
While there's life your eyes
It's not that you're misguided
This goodbye is too one sided to be right
The warmest place I've known has turned so cold
In the quiet of the morning wrapped up in my fear
I'm feel so alone
If you were only here to tell me it's ok
If you could only hear how much I meant to say
BRIDGE
Think it over
We just need to breathe
I'm not afraid of other side
We're one step closer
To where we have to be
CHORUS
You don't know this is goodbye
And I wish you'd break down and cry
Just a little more time
While there's life your eyes
It's not that you're misguided this time
You know we can't deny it
This goodbye is too one sided to be right
