I, I look into her eyes Saw through her disguise But never realized That we were longing to be free Runaway to sea Well that could never be Goodbye don't say goodbye I'd rather die Than say goodbye Once so very long ago Was when I loved you so If only I had known That I was blinded by my fate I traded love for hate Now I just sit and wait Goodbye don't say goodbye I'd rather die Than say goodbye Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one Goodbye don't say goodbye I'd rather die Than say goodbye Goodbye don't say goodbye I'd rather die Than say goodbye
