Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time When you were everything to me and more You set me free I didn't want to let go that's for sure I wait by the phone at night and I long to hear your voice Are you all right I know theres no turning back but I can't go on I must let go Chorus: Say Goodbye To all the memories We shared just you and me You'll always be in my heart I close my eyes And slowly feel the tears begin to fall I don't know why You played me like a fool left me alone I wake from my dreams at night and the darkness fills my heart I'm not alright I know there's no turning back, but I can't go on I must let go Chorus (till end)
