After the Final Goodbye

(Girl)

I remember the first time I saw you

After weÕd said that final goodbye

It was like a knife in my heart

It hurt so much I couldnÕt even cry

 

Cause I knew that we were wrong

You belong by my side

Cause youÕre the words to my song

And the rhythm of my heart

 

But weÕll never get it back together again

Now that weÕve torn it all apart

ÔCause youÕre too proud to say IÕm sorry

And IÕm too hurt to take you back without a guarantee

That youÕll never again hurt the little girl inside of me

She trusted in you, but you couldnÕt make her small town dreams come true

 

(Boy)

I remember the first time I saw you

After weÕd said that final goodbye

It was like a knife in my heart

It hurt so much I wanted to cry

 

Cause I knew that we were wrong

You belong with me

Cause youÕre the melody I always sing

And the reason for my rhyme

 

But weÕll never get it back together again

Not if we had Ôtil the end of time

ÔCause IÕm too proud to get down on my knees

And youÕre too hurt to forgive me easily

Understand, I turned away because of the little boy that I can be

He was afraid of what your love could make of me

 


(Both)

So here we stand apart

Separated by pride and pain

Each with a broken heart

Goodbye my love, goodbye

May you love again
