Seal

Close your heart
Close your eyes
Fake a kiss and
Say goodbye
When you know it's not the way
And you're leaving home today

Anger rises
The deed is done
Just to say you
Can't go on
When you know that's not the way
Yet you're leaving home today

If I see a tear in your eye
It's an easy way
To say goodbye

You're afraid
So you lie
Sometime this will
Get you by
But you know that's not the way (know it's not the way)
And I trust you anyway (trust you anyway)

Harmony
But not for long
Plain to see
We're doing something wrong
Even though you've gone away (though you've gone away)
I still love you

But if I see a tear in your eye
It's an easy way
To say goodbye, oh
To say goodbye, oh, bye
To say goodbye

Sent you Rilke
By hand
Hoping you
Would understand
Don't you know that's not my way (know that's not my way)
I was missing you today (missing you today)

Anger rises
The deed is done
Just to say that (ah)
You can't go on
When you know that's not my way (know that's not my way)
'Cause I still love you anyway (love you anyway)

After all we've
Said and done
Can't you see
We can't go on?
'Cause God knows there's no easy way

To say goodbye
