I'll never be able to say good bye and mean it..
you are the other half of me..
My heart and soul,
the reason that I breathe..

they have no right to try and keep us apart..
They may just as well,
put me in my grave,
and stomp on my heart...

And I love you now even more then
i loved you before..
and I will till the day i die...
And it's so sad that it takes a second to say hello,
And forever to say good-bye..

I once felt safe and secure with you,
Now every moment without you feels an eternity,
And I lower my head and cry..
Lord why does it take a second to say hello
and forever to say good-bye.....

I've tried so hard..
to get up and move on.
.my friends tell me girl,you're beautiful.,
You'll meet someone and go on again...,girl you are going to be ok...



And I just want to scream..and ask why., whyyyyyyy
Why does it have to be this way.... left alone we'd be ok.....
Is it ever going to be just you and me again?
And I fall down to my knees and I cry....

Why oh why Lord, does it take a second to say good-bye
No no no ........... just not going to say good bye......
and I cant eat and I cant sleep
I cry and ask the Lord my soul to keep..
And toss and turn all night and ask him why...
why why why why why does it take a second to say hello
And forever to say good-bye.....

Love is not always tranquility, it's fear and hate and chaos..
and the best and worst of everything..
Life is too short and we can't let them win
and just throw it all away.
We may never get this chance again..
it's our lives to live not theirs..

So they dont really have a say...... let them live their own lives..
And maybe one day they will be lucky enough to have what we had...
Or maybe like us be left to wonder why.
It takes a second to say hello
AND FOREVER TO SAY GOOD BYE..
