Lyrics

You say it would be better If we stopped seeing each other If you had only met me first When you were free 'Cause now you've got commitment I should not expect things from you That you can't give to me Oh, but baby, can't you see? I can't say goodbye to you No matter how I tried, you're such a part of me Without you, I would die deep in the heart of me I know that you and I were meant to be forever I can't tell you goodbye Neither of us planned That we would fall in love this way But since we did, why should we be apart? Sometimes, something's happen That can never be explained Now, it's too late for me I've already given you my heart I can't say goodbye to you No matter how I tried, you're such a part of me Without you, I would die deep in the heart of me I know that you and I were meant to be forever I can't tell you goodbye Who knows why we choose When we choose the ones we love? Who knows why we do the things We do when we're in love? I know that you're a decent man, and you try to do what's best But how can I forget All the feelings we have shared? I can't say goodbye to you No matter how I tried, you're such a part of me Without you, I would die deep in the heart of me I know that you and I were meant to be forever I can't tell you goodbye (you and I were meant to be forever) I can't tell you goodbye
