I Don't Know How to Say - THE SYSTEM

Whoa

I need you

Whoa…

I don’t want you to stay around

While I play around

Turn the lights down

And let your heart get broken

I’ve let you down

A thousand times

I made you cry

I took you way beyond your patience

I didn’t realise

How much compromise

And sacrifice

Two people have to make

Somewhere down the line

I hope we find

How to make time

Another chance for you and I

Baby, I know how to say I love you

When I’m trying not to hurt you

Bone who’ll never make you cry

But I don’t know how to say

It’s hurting time

That’s no lie

But who am I

To take away your pride?

Why won’t happiness

Ever rest

Until it sets

On your love like a sun

See that look in your eyes

And I wonder why

I must be blind

Baby, I know how to say I love you (say I love you)

When I’m trying not to hurt you (when I hurt you)

But you deserve a better guy

One who’ll never make you cry

But I don’t know how to say goodbye (goodbye) goodbye

I say I love you

When I’m trying not to hurt you

'Cause you deserve a better guy

One who’ll never make you cry

But I don’t know how to say goodbye

Parting as friends

Seems like we could be starting again

Looks like we’re ending our love, love, love

Baby, I know how to say I love you (say I love you)

When I’m trying not to hurt you

You deserve a better guy

One who’ll never make you cry

But I don’t know how to say goodbye

Goodbye

(I don’t mean to hurt you)

So for now I say I love you (say I love you)

But you deserve a better guy

One who loves you more than I

One who’ll never have to say goodbye (goodbye)

Goodbye (how could I hurt you?)

And I don’t know what to say

Looks like love has gone away

You’ll be searching for

One that loves you for all time

And I never wanna make you cry

Goodbye
