Tried to love like the rest of the world
A picture perfect romance
I tried directing the play but the lines were all wrong
I tried to make the occasions ring out
I bought you diamonds and pearls
But the gift that I didn't give was that of myself
I'm sorry for what I said
Sorry for the things I didn't do
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself
There were times I couldn't hear your side
Or put myself in your place
My relationship sk**s had simply run out
And when our times were good they were good
And when they were bad they were bad
I tried directing the play but the scenes were all wrong
I'm sorry for what I said
Sorry for the things I didn't do
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself
I'll walk away, but baby, take care of yourself
And there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
To try and keep you here by my side
If there's the slightest chance I could change for you
Then I'll be here still for the long ride
I'm sorry for what I said
Sorry for the things I didn't do
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself

I'll walk away, but baby, take care of yourself
I'll say goodbye, but baby, take care of yourself
