Departing from the situation
Is not so easy a feat
When I still believe
With all my heart
That we were destined to be

And yet the stillness
Of this black night
Beckons me into its grasp
I suppose it knew
Long before I did
That love
Was not meant to last

I cannot live with any regret
Which is why I need the goodbye
To feel your arms around me
Is only a dream by the by

I wanted so much more for us
Than you did, yes I know
For me to accept this and move on
I've no choice but to let the dream go

So please, let me have my goodbye
