Time to Say Goodbye
Worhol Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Tell me now before I go is this all you wished for?
Should I stay or should I go, I don't want to be alone.

This is not what I expected us to be.
All the tears now haunt me.
As I look into your eyes, I know it's time to say goodbye.

Tell me now before I go was our love all a lie?
Should I wipe my tears and forget our past life?

This is not what I expected us to be.
All the tears now haunt me.
As I look into your eyes, I know it's time to say goodbye.
I know it's time to say goodbye.

How long will it take to forget this heartbreak?
How many tears must I shed till I say, say goodbye?
I won't let you change me or chase me anymore.
I won't let you break me down anymore.

This is not what I expected us to be.




All the tears now haunt me.
As I look into your eyes, I know it's time to say goodbye.
