When I gave my love to you
Everything just seems so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And I've tried so not to let it show
Yet it seems sad because I know
No matter how hard I try
No matter how hard I try
It's always a goodbye
You smile softly as you leave my bed
And I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
But there's nothing to be said
And if you say you want to stay
I'd know you'd soon be on your way
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It's always a goodbye
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It's always a goodbye
So here we stand, you and I
You are too kind, I'm too shy
To say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
Never showing all
Only the parts we play
No matter how hard we try
No matter how hard we try
It's always a goodbye
Ever since that first night When I gave my love to you Everything just seems so right You are my sunlight shining through And I've tried so not to let it show Yet it seems sad because I know No matter how hard I try No matter how hard I try It's always a goodbye You smile softly as you leave my bed And I tightly hold your hand You lean down to kiss my head But there's nothing to be said And if you say you want to stay I'd know you'd soon be on your way No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try It's always a goodbye No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try It's always a goodbye So here we stand, you and I You are too kind, I'm too shy To say what we really mean So we make life a masquerade Never showing all Only the parts we play No matter how hard we try No matter how hard we try It's always a goodbye Explain Request ×
