Say Goodbye

Why can't I leave him?
When I know that I really should
I wish I could walk out the doorway if only I could
Why can't I say goodbye
Each tear scorned me
His heartache like I always knew
But everyone knows that I still love him as much as I do
Why can't I say goodbye?
Hello love I remember
When I could hold my head high
Now you put shame on me
You made me cry
Still there's a blame in me
Why won't it die?
I will feel much better
As soon as I set myself free
But somehow I can't get my mind
And my heart to agree
Why can't I say goodbye?
Tell me now baby
Why can't I say goodbye?
I wanna know
Why can't I say goodbye?
Ooh
(Say goodbye)
