Goodbye from Sweet Optimism by Alun Parry

Don’t need to know which way you’re heading

You’ll still find your way

You wanna be the one who’s so serene

The pain can wait for another day

So I take the blame

I’m crying out your name baby



Cos I don’t wanna be the one to say goodbye

I don’t wanna be the one to leave

I know it goes this way sometimes

I’m not a fool

But I don’t wanna be the one to say

Goodbye



I don’t wanna say it

I don’t wanna say it

No no no no no



I know this train has left the station

With only one of us on the train

I’d rather fight than be so damn polite

At least I’d know you felt the same

And though I know we’re through

I’m clinging on to every inch of you darling



Cos I don’t wanna be the one to say goodbye

I don’t wanna be the one to leave

I know it goes this way sometimes

I’m not a fool

But I don’t wanna be the one to say

Goodbye



I don’t wanna say it

I don’t wanna say it

I don’t wanna say

Goodbye
