I know
I've been foolin' myself too long
I'm never right but always wrong
Goodbye, Baby, so long
You know
You never let this thing catch on
You never let me be that strong
Goodbye, Baby, so long
There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met
The leaves fell from the trees
You made a lot of promises I ain't seen yet
And I ain't gonna ask you please
We know
None of us are gonna cry
It wasn't even worth the try
So long, Baby, Goodbye
There was a cold wind blowing on the night we met
The windows were rolled up tight
We both asked for something we could never get
Now I'll do the thing that's right
We know
None of us are gonna cry
It wasn't even worth the try
So long, Baby, Goodbye
