I've been lost inside

Empty space in my heart

And some thing never change

Oh,

How it hurts me and

How it's tearin' me apart

And it just goes on and on

Can you read my mind?

Take a good look at my face

Could you take the time

Just to stand here in my place?



What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?

Goodbye

Could you smile when inside you just want to cry?

Look inside

Can you read my mind?



Oh, Oh

When I hear your name

Feel so cold deep inside

Still it's hard to explain, oh,

What your love meant to me

They say,

"Time will heal the pain"

But it just goes on forever

Can you read my mind?

Have you closed the door on love?

Can you be so blind?

Did you think I'd just give up?



What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?

Goodbye

Could you smile when inside you just want to cry?

Want to cry

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?

Goodbye

Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside?

And it never fades away



Fade away



Time can erase the reasons why

Count my mistakes,

And the heartaches,

Since you said goodbye



What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?

Goodbye

Could you smile when inside you just want to cry?

Want to cry

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye?

Goodbye

Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside?

And it never fades away



Never fades away



No it don't fade away.....
