Lyrics
Girl we tried to make it work
That's the reason this will hurt
I don't want to live a lie
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Here's the choice I had to make
When I leave it's for your sake
Don't think you can change my mind
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
There's no sense in hanging on
What we had once now is gone
I don't want to see you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
Time to face reality
Another love waits for me
Now the moment has arrived
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
