I Can’t Find the Words to Say Goodbye Lyrics by David Gates

Love Is Always Seventeen

1994

Can't say I don't love her
Still I can't pretend
That my heart is torn
Just knowing that
I'm losing my best friend
If it's easier said than done
Then someone tell me why
Though I try
I can't find the words to say goodbye
I could tell her that I'm sorry
And hope she'll understand
She will have to do with someone else
All that we had planned
I'd rather, her, hear the truth
Than hurt her with a lie
So I try
But I can't find the words to say goodbye
Now I know, I have to go
There's no other way
But goodbye is not what I can
Bring myself to say
If I told her, see you later
Then I might be wrong
'Cause this voice inside is drivin' me
To find where I belong
And I know I must leave her now
But every time I try
Don't know why
But I can't find the words to say goodbye
Don't know why
I can't find the words to say goodbye
