Can't say I don't love her
Still I can't pretend
That my heart is torn
Just knowing that
I'm losing my best friend
If it's easier said than done
Then someone tell me why
Though I tried
I can't find the words to say
Goodbye
I could tell her that I'm sorry
And hope she'll understand
She will have to do
With someone else
All that we had planned
I'd rather, her, hear the truth
Than hurt her with a lie
So I tried
But I can't find the words to say
Goodbye
Now I know, I have to go
There's no other way
But goodbye is not what I
Can't bring myself to say
If I told her see you later
Then I might be wrong
'Cause this voice inside
Is driving me
To find where I belong
And I know I must leave her now
But every time I try
Don't know why
But I can't find the words to say
Goodbye...
Don't know why
I can't find the words to say
Goodbye... [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/d/david_gates/i_cant_find_the_words_to_say_goodbye.html ]
That's how hard to say such word to a person who have become part of your life. The love that he had for her might no longer be the same and almost lost but it always left something beautiful in his heart and that's what still holds him because he really can't afford to hurt the person completely.. That's how powerful love is. It lingers through time.
He's already lost the love he once had for her, yet he can't hurt her by telling the truth. He is torn between telling the truth or hiding it because he just can't hurt her, he can't take to see her crying because of him. If there is any other way to tell the truth without hurting her, then he will surely do it.
