Ever since that first night When I gave my love to you Everything seemed so right You are my sunlight shining through And I tried so not to let it show Yet it seems sad because I know No matter how hard I try No matter how hard I try There's always goodbye You smile softly as you leave my bed And I tightly hold your hand You lean down to kiss my head But there's nothing to be said And if you said you want to sing I know you'd soon be on your way No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try There's always goodbye So here we stand, you and I You are too kind and I'm too shy To say what we really mean So we make life a masquerade Never showing all, only the parts we played No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try There's always goodbye No matter how hard I try No matter how hard I try There's always goodbye There's always goodbye
