Goodbye my love.
Goodbye, my love.
I don’t say this with joy,
I am not happy, nor am I proud.
My love, I am filled with sorrow.

I didn’t think this would happen,
This miserable goodbye of mine.
I thought we’d last together,
I thought we’d love forever.

Please, oh please, listen to me,
Listen to my final cry,
My final cry, my final goodbye.
I have raised the white flag, but I have not given up.

My love, oh my love, please.
I am sorry, not for me but for thee.
I played my final card,
I sang my last song.

I tried to make it last forever,
Only for our love to tear at the final seam.
I wave my hand as I say goodbye,
But please, my love, don’t let it be our last goodbye.
