Don't Say Goodbye
Amber Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Inside I'm dying
All alone in my room
Try to fight from the mood
Outside I'm crying
What is right or wrong
Where do I belong
I wonder where you are, I wonder what you do
It's your face that I'm seeing
It's fading

Don't, don't say goodbye
Don't walk away
Don't let this love be a lie baby
Don't don't say goodbye
Just walk away from all this pain inside
Don't say goodbye

I look at the sky
It's getting colder each day
How can I make you stay
Closing my eyes
While the time wipes your trace
I'm calling your name
I wonder where you are, I wonder what you do
It's your voice that I'm hearing
It's fading

Don't, don't say goodbye
Don't walk away
Don't let this love be a lie
Don't don't say goodbye
Just walk away from all this pain inside
(Can't say goodbye) to the feeling that I'm feeling
(Can't say goodbye) to the dreams you're giving me
(Can't say goodbye) to the love that we're sharing
No I can get it won't let it go

Don't, don't say goodbye
Don't walk away
Don't let this love be a lie baby
Don't don't say goodbye




Just walk away from all this pain inside
Don't say goodbye
