| 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 |
