As I Say Goodbye to You

As I Say Goodbye to You

While I savor our last kiss,

I wonder how it came to this

As I say goodbye to you.

Who is right and who is wrong?

Or did we just press our luck too long?

It could be you. It could be me.

Maybe we just weren’t meant to be.

I wish I knew

As I say goodbye to you.

I can feel the tears building inside

And see the questions in your eyes

But there is nothing I can do

As I say goodbye to you.

Because we have been here before,

Someone ready to walk out this door.

We’ve both begged, made our pleas,

Have screamed, and fallen on our knees.

We’ve made up and try to forgive

But this is just no way to live.

Now we’re just through

As I say goodbye to you.

We have tried in so many ways

To make this work every day

But it’s just no use

As I say goodbye to you.

So I reluctantly pull away.

God, how I’ve dreaded this day!

But this is something I must do

As I say goodbye to you.

I try to ignore your “Please”

And the quivering in my knees

As I walk out the door,

Wanting to fall through the floor.

I do love you

But I must say goodbye to you.

Maybe someday you’ll see I’m right

But I know it won’t be tonight

Now that I’ve said goodbye to you.
