How do I say goodbye? 
Lyric by Jonathan Stratman

(Chorus)
How do I say goodbye?  
How do I say “all my dreams have run dry?”
How do I turn, without anger or blame
and finally stop playing the game.
When it’s no good to lie, when we stand eye-to-eye.
How do I say goodbye?

How do I say “this is not working out”
When a broken-heart sigh is a scream
When a whisper explodes like a shout.
How do I gently relinquish the dream

How do I say, this is finally the end. 
And walk out, after all we’ve been through
When we just can’t start over again. 
I don’t like the “me” I’m becoming with you.

(Bridge)
You will say I never loved you, but I did … 
and now I don’t.  And now I can’t.  
And now I won’t.
