I've been bound to leave you, we've known that for awhile  I'm sure it's something I can't do if I can't leave you with a smile  I don't know how far I'll have to go 'til I'm sure those eyes won't cry  And in my mind I've left enough to know that I can't leave you  With a bad goodbye   Goodbye, easier said than done  Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one  Whose goodbye you swore would never come  And in my goodbye you're finding none    I'm still bound to leave you, I surely don't know how  My heart won't let me put you through  What my mind says should happen now  I don't know where we'll go from here, there may be no way to fly  And the cloud I'm in just makes it all too clear that I can't leave you  With a bad goodbye    Goodbye, easier said than done  Goodbye, there's no good when you're the one  Whose goodbye you swore would never come  And in my goodbye you're finding none    How can we be so far between where we are and one more try  And any way I look, I've only seen that I can't leave you  With a bad goodbye
