Skip all the duress and bitterness   I prefer to part with you as friends   How would you suggest a better way,   A way to say goodbye?    My heart is made of flint, it's made of fire   Yours is like pyrex, resisting mine   I am so perplexed, I need a way   A way to say goodbye.      Spoken   [i know that an old love like ours   Was never meant to have more than the smallest chance   Still, won't you please say something now   That will help me understand? ]      Skip all the duress I'd rather find   Something to protect me from your kind   Behind a kleenex I'll shield my eyes   A way to say goodbye   A way to say goodbye   Skip all the duress I'd rather find   Something to protect me from your kind   Behind a kleenex I'll shield my eyes   A way to say goodbye   A way to say goodbye   A way to say goodbye...
