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 any more
I just can't find the strength to say I'm leaving you
|: It's over now :| and there's nothing I can do.
(Chorus:)
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 :| but not the way you needed me.
Chorus
Instrumental
I didn't mean to hurt you, I didn't want to make you cry
|: It's over now [yes] :| I just couldn't say goodbye.
Chorus
