Wishes
The saddest thing is you could be anything that you could want
We could have been everything
But now we're not
Now it's not anything at all

The hardest part was getting this close to you
And giving up this dream I built with you
A fairytale that isn't coming true
You've got some growing up to do

[Chorus]
I wish we could have worked it out
I wish I didn't have these doubts
I wish I didn't have to wonder just what you are doing now

I wish I didn't know inside
That it won't work out for you and I
I wish that I could stop this wishing
And just say my last goodbye

After all the things you put me through
Tell me why I'm still in love with you
And why am I, why am I still waiting for your call

You broke my heart
I'm taking it back from you
I'm taking back the life that I gave to you
Life goes on before and after you
I've got some growing up to do…CHORUS

It's time I said my last goodbye
Goodbye
Goodbye
It's time I said my last goodbye…CHORUS

It's time I said my last goodbye
Goodbye




Goodbye
It's time I said my last goodbye
