I never knew what to say
and I never knew what to do
But I know everytime I said, "Goodbye"
I really meant, "I love you."

I said, "goodbye" a million times
and, still you never knew
that everytime I said, "goodbye"
I really meant, "I love you."

You ran to me so often
and held me when I'd cry
I never knew when you said, "I love you"
you really meant, "Goodbye."

You told me so many times, "I love you"
and picked me up so I could fly
Little did I know when you said, "I love you"
you really meant "goodbye"
