Last Goodbye lyrics

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it's over
Just hear this and then I'll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you'll ever know
This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can't we overcome this wall
Baby, maybe it is just because I didn't know you at all
Kiss me
Please kiss me
Kiss me out of desire, baby
Not consolation
Oh, you know it makes me so angry
'Cause I know that in time
I'll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye
Ooh no no no no
Ooh uhm
Ooh
Did you say, "No, this can't happen to me"
And did you rush to your phone to call?
Was there a voice unkind in the back of your mind saying
"Maybe you didn't know at all"
You didn't know him at all
You didn't know
Oh you didn't know
The bells out in the church tower chime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memory
Offer signs that it's over
It's over
