Our paths would cross by chance one day, and I felt that love might not be far away
I hoped and dreamed as you smiled at me, and I imagined how good this could be
I know I promised you all of my heart, all I could give right from the start
Words I know you never heard me say, 'cos I could feel you didn't want me that way
You told me a story of love and life, and how everything changed one fateful night
I wanted to hold you, but I felt sad, broken dreams were all I had
I tossed and turned the night away, trying to think of what I could say
To make you open your heart to me, to help you feel you could love me
But, if I could say what you should feel, I would never know if your love was real
You're right to feel the way you do, and I'll remember that your feelings were true
Now, I turn my back and I walk away, and it hurts me more than I could ever say
For I know now, I have said goodbye, I'm far away, and alone I cry
I'm far away, and I say goodbye
