I couldn't tell you what was wrong
But I knew it wasn't right
Wonder have I known it all along
Or was it just last night

Suddenly I saw us for what we really are
Always coming so near staying so far
It's hard to say goodbye, you know
Especially when you ask me why, you know

It's hard to say goodbye
I don't know why it took so long
For me to see the light
But there's none as blind as those who fear

What they have in slight
Instead of always running
I stopped to look around
I realized that emptiness was
All I'd really found

Now that I've said what has to be said
I've got to get right away
I've never been the kind to hang around
Now I've just got to say
