How Can I Say Goodbye

How can I say goodbye
 How can I even try
 Why can't I find a place
 Where I don't see your face
 How can I free my soul
 When my heart won't let go
 If what we had is gone
 Why do I still hang on to you
 You're a part of my life
 Every night and every day
 I keep tryin' to walk away
 But how can I say goodbye
 How do I live that lie
 Tryin' to make believe
 You're not a part of me
 How do I wish you well
 Riding love's carousel
 Don't you know all the while
 I'm just tryin'
 To find a smile for you
 When I'm fallin' apart
 Hide my tears
 When you're around
 'Cause I don't
 Wanna bring you down
 I know there's a reason
 You're fading away
 But baby I don't have a clue
 So how can I say goodbye
 How can I say goodbye to you
