it takes a lot of strength to say goodbye
Hurting inside, Simply because: It takes a lot of strength to say goodbye, Oh, it's so hard to do I wonder if I'm wrong, I thought the whole thing over And I still can't tell you why It's gone Baby, I can't accept the pain That we bring, That we bring to each other There's nothing to gain from hurting one another, So I'm walking in the rain Looking for the strength to say goodbye. My man, I want to call you And say it's on again It's not like I don't love you, I don't love you any more I thought the whole thing over And it's not like it was before You're gone, you're gone Just one too many times, You say you don't want me And then apologize 'cause you know your love will haunt me I hope I'm acting wisely I'm walking in the rain Looking for the strength to say goodbye. No more, no more in the morning No more, no more crisis every night This is not a warning, You've heard that before Baby, I'm tired, I'm tired, I can't take it, I won't take it any more. My man, I want to call you And say it's on again And it's not like I don't love you, I don't love you any more I thought the whole thing over And I still can't tell you why It's gone And oh, girl, I can't accept the pain That we bring, that we bring, That we bring to each other There's nothing to gain from hurting one another, So I'm walking in the rain Oh, I'm walking Looking for the strength to say goodbye. Looking for the strength to say goodbye. That's what you got me doing, baby, But, oh, it's so hard to do, I can't say goodbye to you.
