Goodbye

Written as a Single by Linda Thompson and David Foster

[Verse 1: Graham Russell] I can see the pain living in your eyes And I know how hard you try You deserve to have so much more I can feel your heart and I sympathize And I'll never criticize All you've ever meant to my life [Pre-Chorus: Graham Russell] I don't want to let you down I don't want to lead you on I don't want to hold you back From where you might belong [Chorus: Russell Hitchcock] You would never ask me why My heart is so disguised I just can't live a lie anymore I would rather hurt myself Than to ever make you cry There's nothing left to say But goodbye [Verse 2: Graham Russell] You deserve the chance at the kind of love I'm not sure I'm worthy of Losing you is painful to me [Pre-Chorus: Russell Hitchcock] I don't want to let you down I don't want to lead you on I don't want to hold you back From where you might belong [Chorus: Russell Hitchcock] You would never ask me why My heart is so disguised I just can't live a lie anymore I would rather hurt myself Than to ever make you cry There's nothing left to say But goodbye [Instrumental Bridge] [Chorus: Russell Hitchcock] You would never ask me why My heart is so disguised I just can't live a lie anymore I would rather hurt myself Than to ever make you cry There's nothing left to try Though it's gonna hurt us both There's no other way Than to say goodbye
