VERSE ONE:
You said to me that we?d make it in the end
That was then, you were my one and only friend
A friend of mine I feel you are no more
Now my eyes have seen that open door
Now I?ve found myself again
There?s no need for me to cry
I will raise my hand to say goodbye

CHORUS:
I?m no longer the man to let my feelings show
I?m no longer the man, the man you used to know
I?m no longer the man who needs to look down low
I?m no longer the man, the man you used to know

VERSE TWO:
When a love is lost, never run away
You just face the facts and live another day
I have been let down so many times before
Every sadness gone and tears to cry no more
Now I?ve found myself again
There?s no need for me to cry
I will raise my hand to say goodbye

REPEAT CHORUS

VERSE THREE: INSTRUMENTAL

Now I?ve found myself again
There?s no need for me to cry
I will raise my hand to say goodbye

REPEAT CHORUS
