Lyrics:

I've been lost inside, empty space in my heart

And some things never change, oh

How it hurts me and how it's tearin' me apart

And it just goes on and on



Can you read my mind

Take a good look at my face

Could you take the time

Just to stand here in my place



What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, look inside

Can you read my mind? Oh oh



When I hear your name

Feel so cold deep inside

Still it's hard to explain, oh

What your love meant to me

They say time will heal the pain

But it just goes on forever



Can you read my mind

Have you closed the door on love

Can you be so blind

Did you think I'd just give up



Chorus:



What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

Could you smile when inside you just wanna cry, wanna cry

What if I'd been the one to say goodbye, goodbye

Could you smile when it hurts so deep inside

And it never fades away, Fade away



Time can't erase the reasons why

Count my mistakes and the heartaches

Since you said goodbye



(chorus)



Never fades away, no it don't fade away
