Good Bye

Good bye
I'm leaving, I cannot pretendI'm going and saying "Good bye"and though I will know you might not understandI won't turn around, you won't see me cryI'm looking ahead but I cannot seeI'm looking behind and I can't rememberFor what is ahead I cannot beAnd what is behind I cannot surrenderI'm facing the truth from a single directionI make a step forward and whisper "Good bye"And though in my heart I see your reflectionI know I had lived in a beautiful lieBut why do I say, against my willIf I had the chance I'd be there still.
