Lyrics I Don't Know How to Say - THE SYSTEM

I Don't Know How to Say

Whoa
I need you
Whoa…
I don’t want you to stay around
While I play around
Turn the lights down
And let your heart get broken
I’ve let you down
A thousand times
I made you cry
I took you way beyond your patience
I didn’t realise
How much compromise
And sacrifice
Two people have to make
Somewhere down the line
I hope we find
How to make time
Another chance for you and I
Baby, I know how to say I love you
When I’m trying not to hurt you
Bone who’ll never make you cry
But I don’t know how to say
It’s hurting time
That’s no lie
But who am I
To take away your pride?
Why won’t happiness
Ever rest
Until it sets
On your love like a sun
See that look in your eyes
And I wonder why
I must be blind
Baby, I know how to say I love you (say I love you)
When I’m trying not to hurt you (when I hurt you)
But you deserve a better guy
One who’ll never make you cry
But I don’t know how to say goodbye (goodbye) goodbye
I say I love you
When I’m trying not to hurt you
'Cause you deserve a better guy
One who’ll never make you cry
But I don’t know how to say goodbye
Parting as friends
Seems like we could be starting again
Looks like we’re ending our love, love, love
Baby, I know how to say I love you (say I love you)
When I’m trying not to hurt you
You deserve a better guy
One who’ll never make you cry
But I don’t know how to say goodbye
Goodbye
(I don’t mean to hurt you)
So for now I say I love you (say I love you)
But you deserve a better guy
One who loves you more than I
One who’ll never have to say goodbye (goodbye)
Goodbye (how could I hurt you?)
And I don’t know what to say
Looks like love has gone away
You’ll be searching for
One that loves you for all time
And I never wanna make you cry
Goodbye
