Goodbye To Love
The Carpenters Lyrics

I'll say goodbye to love
I have decided to give up on love and end my search for it.

No one ever cared if I should live or die
I have never experienced true love or concern for my well-being from anyone.

Time and time again the chance for love has passed me by
I have missed numerous opportunities to find love in the past.

And all I know of love
My understanding of love is limited and incomplete.

Is how to live without it
My experience with love has been so minimal that I am more familiar with life without it.

I just can't seem to find it
Despite my efforts, I have been unsuccessful in discovering love.

So I've made my mind up
I have finally decided and committed to living a life without pursuing love.

I must live my life alone
I will live a solitary life without a partner or romantic relationship.

And though it's not the easy way
This decision is not the most comfortable or natural choice for me.

I guess I've always known
Deep down inside, I have always been aware that love may not be for me.

There are no tomorrows for this heart of mine
I am no longer optimistic about the future and potential for love in my life.

Surely time will lose these bitter memories
Although it may take time, I believe the pain of my past experiences with love will fade away eventually.

And I'll find that there is someone to believe in
When I am ready, I hope to find someone to trust and rely on as a partner in life.

And to live for something I could live for
I strive to find a purpose in life outside of a romantic partnership.

All the years of useless search
I have spent countless years searching for love without success.

Have finally reached an end
I have come to an end in my pursuit of love and have made peace with it.

Loneliness and empty days will be my only friend
I am resigned to a life of solitude and not having a close companion or partner.

From this day love is forgotten
I am deciding to forget about love and move on without it in my life.

I'll go on as best I can
I will continue living despite the absence of love.

What lies in the future
The future is unpredictable and full of uncertainties.

Is a mystery to us all
No one can accurately predict what will happen in the future.

No one can predict the wheel of fortune as it falls
Life is full of unexpected changes that no one can anticipate.

There may come a time when I will see that I've been wrong
Although I am currently convinced that love is not for me, there may be a time when I realize that I was mistaken.

But for now this is my song
For now, this is my story and my decision to live a life without love.

And it's goodbye to love
This is my farewell to love and my decision to move on without it in my life.
