[Verse 1]
Always thought your promise was for life
I did not think that I
Would hear you say goodbye
And I always heard you led another life
I'd doubt it every time
I guess my love was blind
'Cause in my eyes
There was always something magical
But the feeling is so tragical
And all I know is in love
The thing I want most I can't possess
There's only emptiness

[Chorus]
In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
You lied
As you kissed me goodnight
In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
I cried
As you kissed my lips goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye

[Verse 2]
In my eyes
You will always be the lucky one
'Cause you know you'll always have
My love for all times, until I die
Through the end, I give to you my best
You gave, you gave me loneliness

[Chorus]
In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
You lied
As you kissed me goodnight
In the late of night
Just before I closed my eyes
I cried
As you kissed my lips goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye
