Lyrics - Say Goodbye

It's getting kind of late
And something in your eyes
Tells me you've got words to say
You're standing there alone
And as you start to speak
It's feeling like the judgement day

Oh what does it mean ?
Everywhere we've been
Everything we've done 'til now
Oh what do I say ?
Do I beg you to stay
Or should I set you free to drift away ?
  Say goodbye, deep inside you know you want to
Say goodbye, and cross the bridge into another day
Whatever you do, whatever you want
I'll be right there with you
Any old time, any old place
I'll be right there by your side
There's acid in my gut
And I can feel it burn
But in my heart it's cold as hell
Memories like smoke
Will rise and disappear
But they will never lose their spell

The king is left alone
Beside an empty throne
To watch the ghosts of yesteryear
Where did we go wrong
It doesn't seem that long
Since we were making love and now the tears
  repeat Chorus
~ solo ~
  Say goodbye, deep inside you know you want to
Say goodbye, and cross the bridge into another day
Whatever you do, whatever you want
I'll be right there with you
Any old time, any old place
I'll be right there with you
  repeat Chorus
