Lyrics
- You ask me if I can forgive you
You’ve asked me so often before
In spite of my pride I’ve always tried
But I just can’t forgive any more
Chorus:
I’ve made up my mind to forget you
But I can’t let you out of my heart
You’ve made me regret that I met you
You were wrong all along from the start
You’re not a child and you must know
The things you do they hurt me so
It’s better, dear, by far that we should part
So, I’ve made up my mind to forget you
But I can’t let you out of my heart
- You think that I can’t live without you
Well, all I can do, dear is try
But I know that you can never be true
So that is why this is “Goodbye”
