Last night when I left U fast asleepingI should have contemplated suicide4 the smile upon your face that's well worth keepingBy morning - smears 4 every tear U cryI could manage a week or 2 without those kissesIt'd be hard, but something tells me I could tryCHORUS:4 that matter, whatever 2 make U reconsiderIs there truth when U make love 2 a lie?Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?Why'd I ever let U in this morning?Why'd I let U come inside my door?I should have known without that smile adorningYour face - a kiss was not what U came 4That's when your hand reached out 2 touch me gentlyAt least that's how it happened in my mindCHORUSCan't begin 2 understand how I think about U (Everything)Everything I wanna do, I cannot do without UHowever wrong U want - I'll beJust please (please) don't leave (Don't leave)If it means this life without U, babyI swear I'll spend it on my kneesExcuse me, but is this really goodbye?Last night when I left U I was so sureWe'd be 2gether 4ever and 4 daysAnd now my shade of blue couldn't get no bluerI don't even know what I did 2 make U go awayI could possibly stage a front and play the cool one (Cool one)Heart in my hand tryin' 2 hold back every cryBut who would applaud me when it's U, my one and onlyWho ever gave me a good reason not 2 dieExcuse me, but is this really… (Goodbye)Excuse me, but is this really… (Goodbye)Excuse me, but is this really goodbye?(Goodbye)Goodbye, goodbye(Goodbye)Goodbye (Goodbye)
