Skip all the duress and bitterness
I prefer to part with you as friends
How would you suggest a better way,
A way to say goodbye?

My heart is made of flint, it's made of fire
Yours is like Pyrex, resisting mine
I am so perplexed, I need a way
A way to say goodbye.

spoken
[I know that an old love like ours
Was never meant to have more than the smallest chance
Still, won't you please say something now
That will help me understand?]

Skip all the duress I'd rather find
Something to protect me from your kind
Behind a Kleenex I'll shield my eyes
A way to say goodbye
A way to say goodbye
Skip all the duress I'd rather find
Something to protect me from your kind
Behind a kleenex I'll shield my eyes
A way to say goodbye
A way to say goodbye
A way to say goodbye...
