I could tell that it was over

When her lips met mine

It was an emptiness in her voice

Hesitation when she smiled

She didn't have to say a word

It was just so plain to see

She had found what she'd been looking for

And I knew it wasn't me.

I saw goodbye in her eyes

I don't think I can change it

There's no way to disguise

We will never make it.

Sometimes I feel like a clown

Who can't wash off his make-up

The life she wanted ? it was gone

Prince charming ? I wasn't

But I would trade a thousand babylons

To be in her arms tomorrow

Oh, but like the tide her love has come and gone

And it's time for me to go.

I saw goodbye in her eyes

I don't think I can change it

There's no way to disguise

We will never make it.

Now she sees right through me.

Should I hold on to what we've got

Is it just a waste of time?

One thing that I know for sure

I saw goodbye in her eyes.

I saw goodbye in her eyes.

I know you got somebody new now

All my candles have burned out

He's gonna love the way you shine

So did I

So don't smile at me it ain't what you mean

(Goodbye)

With that goodbye in your eyes

I know that I can't change it (now you see right through me)

There's no way to disguise

We will never make it.

I saw goodbye in your eyes

I know that I can't change it (now you see right through me, goodbye in your eyes!)

Should I hold on

We will never make it (now you see right through me, goodbye in your eyes!)

Should I hold on

Is it just a waste of time?

One thing that I know for sure

I saw goodbye in your eyes

I saw goodbye in your eyes

I know that it's over.
