For the longest time For the longest That hasn't happened for the longest time I haven't been there for the longest time And it's more than I hoped for If you said goodbye to me tonight There would still be music left to write What else could I do

I wish that I took more photographs of us Wish that I took more photographs of us Just a memory of you is not enough Said goodbye, now our love's collecting dust Oh oh oh, oh oh oh Said goodbye now, our love's collecting dust I can't believe I left you

I had good intentions But I'm not perfect the way you're perfect And though it hurts, yeah, it hurts to say goodbye I know I let you down It wasn't that your love wasn't good enough Couldn't stick around It's only in myself that I didn't trust Baby, you

Can't help this feeling I need your love Don't want to stop and watch the bridges burn I want you every way I can't believe it's open for discussion We've said our goodbyes I've been a fool not to see the repercussions You've had in my life

And I will go on shining Shining like brand new I'll never look behind me My troubles will be few Hope you find your paradise Tried to see your point of view Hope your dreams will all come true Feel no sorrow, feel no shame Come tomorrow, feel no pain
