I stand here and watch you walk away,
I want you to turn around and tell me you'll stay
But you won't. No, you won't.

It hurts me so much to watch you leave,
I wish I could somehow make you see
But I can't. No, I can't.

You always wanna run, and never wanna stay
Do you feel accomplished as you walk away?
I don't want you to go, but you won't change your mind
So, go ahead and run, just promise me you'll say goodbye

I stand here and watch you drive away,
I want you to stop the car and come back to me
But you're gone. Yeah, you're gone.

I'm trying to keep myself from crying,
Cause I know I really lost you this time
I did. You know, I did.

You always wanna run, and never wanna stay
Do you feel accomplished as you walk away?
I don't want you to go, but you won't change your mind
So, go ahead and run, just promise me you'll say goodbye

Goodbye.
