Goodbye Quote by Secondhand Serenade
“It's a shame that it had to be this way It's not enough to say I'm sorry It's not enough to say I'm sorry Maybe I'm so blind or maybe we're the same But either way I can't breathe Either way I can't breathe All I had to say is goodbye We're better off this way We're better off this way I'm alive but I'm losing all my drive 'Cause everything we've been through It's everything about you Seem to be a lie, a countless, twisted lie That made me learn to hate you I hate myself for letting it pass by All I had to say is goodbye We're better off this way We're better off this way All I had to say is goodbye We're better off this way We're better off this way, hey And every, everything isn't only what it seems So hope these words that you never told me It's time to say goodbye, it's time to say goodbye It's time to say goodbye, goodbye, goodbye Take my pain away Tell me I, tell me I was wrong Tell me I was wrong Take my pain away Tell me I, tell me I was wrong Tell me I was wrong Take my pain away Tell me I, tell me I was wrong Tell me I was wrong Take my pain away Tell me I, tell me I was wrong Tell me I was wrong”
