I know I haven't set the world on fire
But I've done my very best you see
So please forgive me if I inquire
Why have you turned your back on me
We've always been like words and music
Of a beautiful love song
But now the melody's gone silent
And the words just feel so wrong
So lie here with me on the sand
And count the stars up in the sky
Maybe then I'll understand
Why you're telling me goodbye
Now there's a darkness all around us
A black hole where there once was love
Chains of memories have bound us
But I guess that's not enough
Why must you leave my side
Are you so dissatisfied
Is there nothing I can say
To make you want to stay
If there's another who enflames you
The way that you ignite my soul
I suppose that I can't blame you
Your heart is out of your control
So lie here with me on the sand
And count the stars up in the sky
Now I think I understand
Why you're telling me goodbye
Why you're telling me goodbye
