Time To Say Goodbye
you'll be with me for just a short while
until our link is broken
i've never made such a heartbreaking choice
but my heart will always be open
you surely are the loveliest thing
an honour to have you inside
but things they have to change my dear
there's tears i'll be needing to cry
please try and understand somehow
that somethings aren't meant to be
this reason for this decision
is there's people pressuring me
i thought that i could handle it
but i realise i'm far too weak
i have no home to call my own
i'm just living on the street
i've done all the thinking possible
and cried an ocean of tears
but this doesn't make it easier
and it doesn't erase my fears
i'm not looking for any excuses
there's no easy way out of this
maybe just a shoulder to cry on
or a warm reassuring kiss
i have no-one, i'm afraid we're on our own
i never wished for any of this
and i'm feeling so alone
if i could stop time just to be with you
for just a little while more
i would stop every clock that i could find
my heart out to you i'd poor
but time it stops for no-one
and the days are passing by
i'm sorry it has to be like this
but it's time to say goodbye
