Whenever I close my eyes
And shut out all thoughts of you
I picture the bed
The spoiled sheets
The scattered pillows
The tequila bottle in the night stand
That night
That I said goodbye
To the person I felt
I learned to love

I said goodbye to you
Being a true lover
It pained my heart to see you go
But what else could I do
When I knew that
From the beginning of this piece of forever
That you are not mine to hold
