Goodbye

Alicia Keys · Alicia Keys Hits Collection [2003]

hmmm

bye bye



how do you love someone

that hurts you oh so bad

with intentions good

was all he ever had



but how do I let go when I've

loved him for so long and I've

givin him all that I could

maybe love is a hopeless crime

giving up what seems your lifetime

what went wrong with something once so good?



chorus:

how do you find the words to say (to say, to say)

to say goodbye (goodbye)

(find the words to say goodbye)

when your heart don't have the heart to say (to say, to say)

to say goodbye (goodbye)

(find the words to say goodbye)



I know now I was naive

never knew where this would lead (ya ya ya ya)

and I'm not tryin' to take away (oh no)

from the good man that he is



but how do I let go when I've

loved him for so long and I've

givin' him all that I could

was it something wrong that we did?

oh, cause others infiltrated

what went wrong with something once so good?



[chorus]



is this the end (end)

are you sure (are you sure)

how should you know when you've never been here before

it's so hard (hard)

to just let go (just let go)

when this is the one and only love I've ever known (known) so...



[chorus]

how do you find the words to say (when it's been so long)

to say goodbye (to say goodbye)

(find the words to say goodbye)

when your heart don't have the heart to say (hmm hmm yea)

to say goodbye (to say, to say goodbye)

(find the words to say goodbye)



how do you find the words to say (to say, to say goodbye)

to say goodbye (to say, to say goodbye, my love)

(find the words to say goodbye) (oo oo yea)

when your heart don't have the heart to say (no my heart don't have the heart...)

to say goodbye (to say, to say...)
