How do You Say Goodbye

These last words
I'll say them to you with my pride intact
Though inside
I'm trembling cause I don't want you to leave

I know you could never love me like you love him
That don't make it easier for me

But I'll turn away
I don't want you to see me cry oh no
I don't want you to know how much this hurts

Tell me how do you say goodbye?
Tell me how do you say goodbye?
When it's the last thing you want to do

These last words
I'll say them to you with a smile on my face
Though inside
My heart is saying beg, plead, just make her stay

If all it took was love to change a situation
You would change your mind and not leave

But I'll turn away
I don't want you to see me cry oh no
I don't want you to know how much this hurts

Tell me how do you say goodbye?
Tell me how do you say goodbye?
When it's the last thing you want to do

I know I'll find a way to carry on
I'll scream into my pillow late at night
And my message will be this song
But I'll turn away
I don't want you to see me cry oh no
I don't want you to know how much this hurts

Tell me how do you say goodbye?
Tell me how do you say goodbye?
When it's the last thing you want to do
