letting you go
dont tell me i'm too dramatic. i already know that.
===========
Did you really think that it was over when you hung up the phone
and said goodnight?
And did you ever think that it would be
too much? I can't leave without saying goodbye
So did you really think that you could take it?
You can make it alone tonight
I never could have hoped for anything more...
Be my angel if you can, alright
You always say goodnight, and you always say goohtdnig
So baby did you sleep an hour for me? How I wish I was there
right now...
I wasn't going to tell you I could change things
I'm afraid I never will know how.
But I don't really think that I can take it but i'll make it alone somehow
So hold me in your arms before I leave you. I'll be back if ever fate allows
You always say goodnight, and you always say goodnight
Goodnight.
=========
Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
Freedom comes when you learn to let go
Creation comes when you learn to say no
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress you had to burn
Pain is a warning that something's wrong
I pray to God that it won't be long
Do ya wanna go higher?
There's nothing left to try
There's no place left to hide
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye
Your heart is not open so I must go
The spell has been broken, I loved you so
You were my lesson I had to learn
I was your fortress
There's nothing left to lose
There's no more heart to bruise
There's no greater power
Than the power of good-bye
Learn to say good-bye
I yearn to say good-bye
===============
met a man traveling 'round the world, leaving pieces behind
he never said he'd wait for me, he couldnt make me see
that he's called to other skies
i can't be his place to hide
it's comin' up, it's comin' up again (live here long to make him stay)
and what are you doin' in my head?
and why dont you call me when you're dead!?
(go on!)
so go on, go and take on the world (building castles)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say good-night
and never say good-bye
maybe in another time, you could have been mine
expand your wings and fly and look to the sky
so how are your dreams? whatever lover they may be
so how are your dreams? whatever lover they may be (go on!)
so go on, go and take on the world (building castles,)
expand your wings across the sky, take my words and say good-night
and never say good-bye
