A Song For the Broken Heart

Today, I want to say good bye.
Turn away from your heavenly eyes
Once and for all, before the love dies.
Today, I want to say good bye.
Never look back upon what we had
Spend the rest of this life being sad.
Today, I want to say good bye.
Forever. Good bye.

So don’t look at me with those angry eyes
And pretend you’re the only one who’s wise.
Because it's time I stopped fooling myself
And put my feelings on the back shelf.

The anger may die one day, but the love won’t
You know I love you so don’t say I don’t.
But it's time I move on and leave with grace
Know that no one can ever take your place.

Maybe you will stop me, maybe you won’t
But you know I love you so don’t say I don’t.
But its time I move on and leave with grace
Know that no one can ever take your place.

Today, I want to say good bye.
Turn away from your heavenly eyes
Once and for all, before the love dies.
Today, I want to say good bye.
Never look back upon what we had
Spend the rest of this life being sad.
Today, I want to say good bye.
Forever. Good bye.
