You ask 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

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
Was as if to close the doors and to hide away in shame

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

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 sorrows in the night

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

And I know the pain is double, but for her it's even worse
You must face her with her trouble, though it's hurting like a curse

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

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

Go and say good, go and say good, go and say goodbye.
