I watch you as you're sleeping

As I'm standing at the door

I don't want to let you go

But I can't hold on anymore



I just can't find the strength

To say I'm leaving you

It's over now, it's over now

And there's nothing I can do



I couldn't say goodbye

Couldn't stand the pain

Couldn't watch you cry

Knowing that your heart would break



So I let you sleep

Till the morning light

When you wake up and you read the note I write

Telling you that I

I couldn't say goodbye



I'm walking down this rainy street

Thinking you're awake by now

As you read my letter

And the tears fall from your eyes



Just know I tried to make it work

It just wasn't meant to be

I needed you, I needed you

But not the way you needed me



I couldn't say goodbye

Couldn't stand the pain

Couldn't watch you cry

Knowing that your heart would break



So I let you sleep

Till the morning light

When you wake up and you read the note I write

Telling you that I

I couldn't say goodbye



I didn't mean to hurt you

I didn't want to make you cry

It's over now, yes it's over now

I just couldn't say goodbye



I couldn't say goodbye

Couldn't stand the pain

Couldn't watch you cry

Knowing that your heart would break



So I let you sleep

Till the morning light

When you wake up and you read the note I write

Telling you that I

I couldn't say goodbye
