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.

No 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 did I
So don't smile at me if it ain't what you need
(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 her eyes
I saw goodbye in her eyes.
