Goodbye

Goodbye my friend, ‘cuz a friend is all I’ll ever be
I can’t hang on, knowing that is all you see in me
A better man you know would stay
But I don’t feel that noble today
The ache in my soul when you smile your smile
Is just too much to take
It’s just too much to take

Goodbye my friend, I hope that you will understand
That through the years, we all do just the best we can
I’d stick around you know I would
If I thought it’d do some good
But I know if I stay with you
I’d lose you anyways
I’d lose you anyways

Everytime you tell me that I’m such a great great friend
It’s like a knife in my heart but you’re doing it again + again (again + again)
It’s so hard to listen when you tell me of all of your men
You know that I would die just to switch places with them

Goodbye my friend, it’s been one hell of an obsession
And in my dreams, I found my only consolation
It’s so hard to say goodbye
When that light shines in your eyes
I love you but I can’t survive
By being just your friend
It hurts too much to pretend

Everytime you tell me that I’m such a great great friend
It’s like a kinfe in my heart but you’re doing it again + again (again + again)
It’s so hard to listen when you tell me of all of your men
You know that I would die just to switch places with them

Goodbye my friend
Goodbye my friend
