There are times when
We don’t get a say in tomorrow
As life leads us each on our own ways
But before we end tonight 
And say our final goodbye
I want you to know
That I’ll never find another soul so true

I’ve been so lucky to have known you
I know there’s nothing you won’t do
Even if it breaks your heart in two
But for me there’s no way to stay
It’s time to go away

So close your eyes and try
To forget what hides inside
The memories of us
And our rapturous love
Move on from this place
Bring the smile back to your face
Pretend we’d never shown
That love we were never meant to know

The long dark road ahead
Is one we must face on different paths
Don’t think what might have been
We knew this dream would end
This is harder than I thought
Losing what has become home
But what we had was never meant
To be so simple and intimate
When you turn around and cry
I’ll pretend I cannot see
The tears that fall for me
While mine for you remain unseen

So close your eyes and try
To forget what hides inside
The memories of us
And our rapturous love
Move on from this place
Bring the smile back to your face
Pretend we’d never shown
That love we were never meant to know

I’ve learned the hard way
That fate isn’t always kind
Life isn’t meant to be a fairytale
Even hell when we find
Someone who makes our days so fine
Only to let it all unwind
There’s no way to break free
From what we’re meant to be
I’m trying so hard to hide
What I feel inside
Cannot let you see
How much you mean to me

Through it all 
You’ve been by my side
And in the dark of night 
We must say goodbye
It doesn’t feel right
We shouldn’t be alone
Dying to hold you tight
And never let go

So close your eyes and try
To forget what hides inside
The memories of us
And our rapturous love
Move on from this place
Bring the smile back to your face
Pretend we’d never shown
That love we were never meant to know

May the memories of all we’ve known
Fall away with time
Forget the way you felt when you
Drift off to sleep in my
Arms that long to hold you
Against my body again
As those nights I dread without you near
Wake my dreams again
But I’d want it no other way
I never want to forget
How much I’ll always want you
But you and I should never have met

Through it all 
You’ve been by my side
And in the dark of night 
We must say goodbye
It doesn’t feel right
We shouldn’t be alone
Dying to hold you tight
And never let go

So close your eyes and try
To forget what hides inside
The memories of us
And our rapturous love
Move on from this place
Bring the smile back to your face
Pretend we’d never shown
That love we were never meant to know

I’ll always love you
And never be too far
Though you’ll never see me
You’ll always have my heart
You were the one I always desired
But not the one to be
The one who would always
Stand beside me
