Lyrics

GOODBYE BABY

I gave you love, I gave you life. I gave you my hand and you held on tight.
Those words of trust, spoken in faith. So meaningless now, they are fading away.
You climbed on any horse that you could ride. You hid your secrets deep as you could hide.
Still you swear by God you've got your alibis. Bye, bye, baby bye.

I told you once. I told you twice. You held me down as I held you inside.
Always alert. Always afraid. We just might break those promises we made.
You conquered every king that you could find. You spread out all your lies in perfect rhyme.
Still you swear by God you never realized that I might change my mind.

So I say; Goodbye Baby.
You believe in chance, you believed in fate. You believed in love and hate.
So I say; Goodbye Baby, Goodbye Baby, Goodbye Baby. Goodbye.

You looked for peace. You took your time. You could step up and over the line.
Almost enough. Almost in love. Almost a joke when we laughed and cried.
You took what you could take, you earned your prize. Every little gem that you could find.
Still you swear by God you're never satisfied. Bye, bye baby bye.

Maybe I'm lost. Maybe I'm blind. Maybe I'll leave this all behind.
I paid a price for my innocence. I've paid a price for all my sins.
You think about the pleasures you can buy. Always new horizons in your eyes.
Still you swear by God the truth you hope to die. I might waste my time.

So I say; Goodbye Baby.
You believe in chance, you believed in fate. You believed in love and hate.
So I say; Goodbye Baby, Goodbye Baby, Goodbye Baby. Goodbye.

Goodbye Baby, Goodbye. Goodbye Baby Goodbye.
