Goodbye
The Jagged Edge Lyrics

Sometimes, what may be the best thing for you to do
There are times when the best thing to do may not be the easiest.

Sometimes it the hardest thing for you to do
Doing what is best for you can often be extremely difficult.

And that's real
This is the truth.

'Cause I know that I love you
I am aware that I have strong feelings for you.

I know how I feel about you
I am certain about my emotions towards you.

But I also know that I don't make everything alright
I am aware that being with me may not solve everything.

And for that reason
Therefore, in light of this fact.

I gotta say goodbye
I have to bid you farewell.

Tell me have you ever been in a
Have you ever found yourself in a situation where.

Situation where the best thing you could do
Doing the right thing that benefits you the most.

was the hardest thing you've ever done
Was the most challenging thing you have ever faced.

But you try to do whats right
But you strive to do what is just.

And I know that deep down inside
I am aware that within you.

That I really wanna be there by your side
You want me to be there beside you.

But I can't stand to see you cry
I cannot bear to witness you in tears.

Not when it's because of me
Especially when I am the one who caused it.

And it's over, I'll never love another
This relationship is over and I will never love anyone else.

I'm always thinking of her, I'm doing this because of her
My love for her is the reason why I am leaving you.

Don't wanna say goodbye
I do not want to bid you farewell.

I don't wanna let her see me cry
I do not want her to witness me shedding tears.

Looking out the window and wondering why
I stare out the window and question why.

Did we have to say all those things that we said last night
Is it necessary to have spoken everything we talked about last night.

Baby I don't wanna say goodbye
I do not want to have to say goodbye.

So I'm just standing here wondering why
I am situated here contemplating why.

Just don't like to see when you cry
I hate to see you crying.

So I'ma say goodbye
So I will have to say goodbye after all.

If you think I 'cause I packed your stuff
If you believe I am okay just because I packed your belongings.

That inside I ain't really really cracking up
That I am not falling apart within.

'Cause you're wrong, I just hide it good
You are mistaken, I merely conceal it well.

'Cause I know that's what you need
Since that is what you require from me.

And there's more to life than loving yourself
There are additional aspects to life besides self-love.

You gotta learn to love somebody else
You must learn how to love someone else.

And that's why I do the things that I do
This is why I am behaving the way I am.

There's no one in this world that can ever take your place
No one can ever replace you.

All the love that we share, it can never be erased
The affection that we share can never be forgotten.

And I know that, that it hurts so bad
I am aware of how much pain you are experiencing.

And it's so that, that you're the best I've had
It is accurate to say that you are the best I have ever had.
