The System - I Don't Know How to Say Lyrics

I don't want you to stay around
While I play around turn the lights down
A little heart gets broken i've let you down
A thousand times i made you cry
I took you way beyond your patience

I didn't realize how much compromise
And sacrifice two people have to make
Somewhere down the line i hope we'll find
How to make time
Another chance for you and I

Baby, I know how to say I love you
When I'm trying not to hurt you
But you deserve a better guy
One who never madе you cry
But I don't know how to say

It's hurtin' time that's no lie
But who am I to take away your pridе?
Why won't happiness ever rest?
Until it sets on your love like the sun
I see that look in your eyes
And I wonder, why? I must be blind

Baby, I know how to say I love you
(To say I love you)
When I'm trying not to hurt you
(Not to hurt you)
But you deserve a better guy
One who never made you cry
But I don't know how to say goodbye (Goodbye)
Goodbye

I say I love you
When I'm trying not to hurt you
'Cause you deserve a better guy
One who never made you cry
But I don't know how to say goodbye

Parting as friends
Seems like we could be starting again
Not like we're end-ding our love, love, love

Baby, I know how to say I love you
(To say I love you)
When I'm trying not to hurt you
You deserve a better guy
One who never made you cry
But I don't know how to say goodbye, goodbye

(I don't mean to hurt you)
So right now I'll say I love you
But you deserve a better guy
One who loves you more than I
One who'll never have to say goodbye
(Goodbye) goodbye

(How can I hurt you?)
And I don't know what to say
Looks like love has gone away
If you search it well, you'll find
One that loves you for all time
And I never wanna make you cry goodbye
