I didn't fail I gave a tryin' tryin' to hold you to me

I let you go we'll say goodbye but don't leave the leaving up to me

Our great love we had is over all we cherished is gone

Nothing ever last forever it's time for moving along

But I can't go my feet won't take me I can't go so please don't make me

Be the one to make the move to be free

One goodbye deserves another so now goodbye it would be

We'd let go of one another but don't leave the leaving up to me

[ guitar ]

Why do I hate so much to lose you why this hurting inside

Is it you I'm holding onto or is it only my pride

So don't wait around the doubts unfold you I make me a chain of tears and hold you

Don't wait around for you may never be free

One goodbye deserves another so now goodbye it will be

We'd let go of one another but don't leave the leaving up to me

Don't leave the leaving up to me don't leave the leaving up to me
