It Takes A Lot Of Strength To Say Goodbye

(albüm: The Poet II - 1984)

Hurting inside
Simply because
It takes a lot of strength to say goodbye
Oh, it's so hard to do
I wonder if I'm wrong
I thought the whole thing over
And I still can't tell you why
It's gone
Baby, I can't accept the pain
That we bring
That we bring to each other
There's nothing to gain from hurting one another
So I'm walking in the rain
Looking for the strength to say goodbye

My man, I want to call you
And say it's on again
It's not like I don't love you, I don't love you any more
I thought the whole thing over
And it's not like it was before
You're gone, you're gone
Just one too many times
You say you don't want me
And then apologize
'Cause you know your love will haunt me
I hope I'm acting wisely
I'm walking in the rain
Looking for the strength to say goodbye

No more, what's wrong in the morning
No more, no more crisis every night
This is not a warning
You've heard that before
Baby, I'm tired, I'm tired
I can't take it
I won't take it anymore

My man, I want to call you
And say it's on again
And it's not like I don't love you, I don't love you any more
I thought the whole thing over
And I still can't tell you why
It's gone
And oh, girl, I can't accept the pain
That we bring, that we bring
That we bring to each other
There's nothing to gain from hurting one another
So I'm walking in the rain
Oh, I'm walking
Looking for the strength to say goodbye
Looking for the strength to say goodbye
That's what you got me doing, baby
Oh, find it so hard to do
I can't say goodbye to you
