If you hear this on the radio Then we've already said our last goodbye I won't be there when you get home By now there's someone else that hears you cry I wonder if he holds you like I did I hope that he can love you better 'Cause we were everything that's right at the wrong time I didn't want to lose you Leave you with a broken heart But wherever we are, we're miles apart I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye Oh, I didn't want to let you go But wherever we are, we're miles apart I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye We were almost beautiful A broken piece of art put on display But we were never possible Another perfect moment thrown away I know somebody out there will love you They'll be the forever we never were 'Cause we were everything that's right at the wrong time I didn't want to lose you Leave you with a broken heart But wherever we are, we're miles apart I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye Oh, I didn't want to let you go But wherever we are, we're miles apart I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye If you hear this on the radio Then we've already said our last goodbye Our last goodbye I didn't want to lose you Leave you with a broken heart But wherever we are, we're miles apart I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye The last goodbye I know that we tried, but this is the last goodbye
