A Bad Goodbye

I've been bound to leave you

We've known that for a while

I'm sure it's something I can't do

If I can't leave you with a smile

I don't know how far I'll have to go

Till I'm sure those eyes won't cry

And in my mind, I've left enough to know

That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye

Goodbye, easier said than done

Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one

Whose goodbye you swore would never come

And in my goodbye, you're finding none

I'm still bound to leave you

I surely don't know how

My heart won't let me put you through

What my mind said should happen now

I don't know where we'll go from here

There may be no way to fly

And the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear

That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye

Goodbye, easier said than done

Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one

Whose goodbye you swore would never come

And in my goodbye, you're finding none

How can we be so far between

Where we are and one more try?

And any way I look, I've only seen

That I can't leave you with a bad goodbye
