You asked me to read this letter
That you wrote the night before
And you really should know better
'Cause she's worth a whole lot more
{Refrain}
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cry, is that why
You won't go and say goodbye
Then you said the fault was yours
And you really were to blame
'Twas as if to close the doors
And to hide away in shame
{Refrain}
Yes, and why, tell me why
Can't you see that it's not right
It's a lie, it's a lie
Don't hide your sorrow in the night
{Refrain}
And I know the pain is doubled
But for her it's even worse
You must face her with the trouble
Though it's hurting like a curse
{Refrain}
Brother, you know you can't run away and hide
Is it you don't want to see her cry, is that why
You won't go and say good go and say good
Go and say goodbye
