(Richards)
Ever since that first night
when I gave my love to you
everything seemed so right
You are my sunlight shining through
And I tried so not to let it show
yet it seems sad because I know
No matter how hard I try
no matter how hard I try
there's always goodbye
You smile softly as you leave my bed
and I tightly hold your hand
You lean down to kiss my head
but there's nothing to be said
And if you said you want to sing
I know you'd soon be on your way
No matter how hard we try
no matter how hard we try
there's always goodbye
So here we stand, you and I
You are too kind and I'm too shy
to say what we really mean
So we make life a masquerade
never showing all, only the parts we played
chorus
No matter how hard I try
no matter how hard I try
there's always goodbye
there's always goodbye
(repeat)
