I never asked to be your child
It felt like I was born into the wild
Caught somewhere between love and pain
There came a time I couldn't take no more
I went my way and you made sure
I never would forget that day
They say love is patient
That love is kind
But I know love can be cruel
It can be blind
Why do people hurt the ones they love the most?
It happens all the time
I wanted to give you love
And all I got was the last goodbye
There's a part of life called certain death
When every soul takes its last breath
Where did you stand on that day?
Did you find yourself before the Lord,
Or staring down Michael's sword?
Ooh, what could you say?
That love was patient?
Or that love was kind?
'Cause we both know love was cruel
Why were you so blind?
Why do people hurt the ones they love the most?
It happens all the time
I wanted to give you love
And all I got was the last goodbye
If I could only reach through time
I'd replace the wave of memories that flood into my mind
With the melodies you sang to me when I was still a child
Why do people hurt the ones they love the most?
It happens all the time
I wanted to give you love
And all I got was the last goodbye
No matter how hard I tried to understand
All the reasons why
I would have given anything for your love
Until the last goodbye
Until the last goodbye
