(Terri Clark/Beth Nielsen Chapman/Annie Roboff)



I've got an ice-cold cup of coffee

And a paper I havn't read

A canyon in my heart

And a hammer in my head

And a waitress with an empty stare

That looks right through me

I'm sitting at a table

And I'm balancing the salt

Weighing out my choices

Baby, It's nobodys fault

And I'm torn up by these voices

Talking to me

You say there's no good reason

For me to walk away

You say there's so much good between us

Who would'nt want to stay

But how can I be with you

If deep down I believe I'll loose a part of me



Sometimes goodbye is the only open door

I can't turn back when I know there's something more

I gotta find what my heart beats for



I've got a half a page of reasons

And a napkin full of tears

From trying to pull my spirit

Through the pocket of my fears

As the lunch croud emptys out

Into the city

And there may not be a way for me

To make you understand

I'll write down the words I'm feeling

And I'll leave it in your hands

But the memories of our love

I'm taking with me

You say there's no good reason

For me to walk away

You say we're meant to be together

And I'm making a mistake

But this emptiness inside me

Has brought me to this road and I have to let you go



Sometimes goodbye is the only open door

I can't turn back when I know there's something more

I gotta find what my heart beats for



For the passion everlasting

For deepest dream

For a chance to love like that

There is no in between



Sometimes goodbye is the only open door

I can't turn back when I know there's something more

I gotta find what my heart beats for
