find a way to say goodbye - blue rodeo

I think I'm finally getting tired of this game
Every night goes just the same
You try to talk to me about your sorrow and your pain
But I end up walking out on you again
I watch you lying on the bed
Curtains blowing ‘round your head
I see the pictures of the two of us in time
A world we left so far behind
Now I get comfort in the night
Losing my head to the colours and the lights
You know I tried to be what you want me to be
But I always come up short, I know
I'm not the one you really need
Now I don't wonder, no I don't wonder at all
Why the same things that once held us up
Are the reasons now we fall
Maybe we won't come through
Maybe it's all been a lie
Til we find a way to say goodbye
And as I'm walking out the door
I know I've been here many times before
But I could never take the sorrow from your face
Or sweep the darkness from this place
Now I get comfort in the night
Losing my head to the colours and the lights
I tried to be everything that you want me to be
But when I wake up in the night
I know I'll never be the one you need
Now I don't wonder, no I don't wonder at all
Why the same things that once held us up
Are the reasons now we stumble and fall
Maybe we won't come through,
Maybe we're wasting our time
Til we find a way to say goodbye
