[Verse 1]
Tell, tell me it isn't so
You say you have your reasons for leaving
You have to go
I watch you turn, turn and walk away
And I'm searching to find the right words to say
Hoping and praying you'd stay

[Chorus]
So I'll kiss your love goodbye
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I gave my all, you've tried
And now I see
That love caught my eye, I went blind
And now it makes me cry
The only thing I can do is kiss your love goodbye

[Verse 2]
Why, why do I look deep inside?
To find where I went wrong, girl
'Cause after all, you'll still be gone
Oh, how I've tried, though I gave my best to you
You were determined to leave
And there's nothing I can do
Guess that some of my dreams won't come true

[Chorus]
So I'll kiss your love goodbye
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I gave my all, you've tried
And now I see
That love caught my eye, I went blind
And now it makes me cry
The only thing I can do is kiss your love goodbye

[Bridge]
I won't ask you why (I won't ask you why)
Give me back my pride
'Cause time will mend the heart that you've broken, baby
I'll let you go, though I love you so
I'll find a way to kiss your love goodbye

[Chorus]
I guess it wasn't meant to be
I gave my all, you've tried
And now I see
That love caught my eye, I went blind
And now it makes me cry
The only thing I can do is kiss your love
Is kiss your love
Is kiss your love goodbye
Goodbye
