Total Touch Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'll say goodbye
And walk away from all this pain inside
This love will die
It's an endless road so I'll say goodbye
I think about the times that we spent all alone
Think about the times that I would drv your tears
Now you're telling me that you have to move on
When I needed you the most you let me down
Won't see my tears, our love has gone
repeat chorus
I don't understand how good love can go wrong
Must have been a lie that I laid
All my hopes ard dreams upon
Holding back my feelings I won't let them show
'cause now I realize I have to face the truth
And try to let you go
repeat chorus
bridge:
I'll say goodbye
Can't count the tears I've cried
Can't find the reason why I should live
In endless confusion
l'm gonna spread my wings and say goodbye
It's time for me to fly
repeat chorus (2x)
