How can I say goodbye How can I even try Why can't I find a place Where I don't see your face How can I free my soul When my heart won't let go If what we had is gone Why do I still hang on to you You're a part of my life Every night and every day I keep tryin' to walk away But how can I say goodbye How do I live that lie Tryin' to make believe You're not a part of me How do I wish you well Riding love's carousel Don't you know all the while I'm just tryin' to find a smile for you When I'm fallin' apart Hide my tears when you're around 'Cause I don't wanna bring you down I know there's a reason You're fading away But baby I don't have a clue So how can I say goodbye How can I say goodbye to you
